Searider 5.4 on eBay

None too shabby 5.4m searider with 80hp 2 stroke yammie up on eBay.

Would be interested myself if
a) I didn't already have a Rib
b) I had any money!

Looks like it was put on the trailer by a numpty driving school pupil!

I think all the worlds most stupid, numpty, half wits must go on ebay when they are not at work (or on rib.net )

I mean even to someone who is colour blind it cant look red! You should listen to some of the phone call i have had.

To be honest, that shakespeare looks seriously over priced. Wouldn't touch it, don't reckon it's been well looked after!

Just looked at the pics of that Searider 5.4 and I think I've sussed the problem. It's too far back and therefore too low on the trailer right? No, wait, I'm confused. It needs to be the other way round? Ok, maybe I need lessons in how to tow .

I think what you have there is a case of "winch frenzy", where you go "I've got this winch on the font, so I'm going to crank it in as hard as I possible can, don't care if the boat ends up off the rollers". Not helpful!

At least he's got a spare steering wheel on the front of the trailer. No, wait, I've gone again, it's not a steering wheel, it's the weight from a throwline.

Blame my friends, they were the fools who provided me beer...

You know what Jono, I think I should employ you to monitor and reply to my eBay questions.

I love your descriptive and judicious use of the word "yes"
