There have been a couple on eBay over the last few years. I think one of them got a mention on here, and someone said at the time that they were quite rare. I've certainly never seen one myself.
I quite like it. Can't say why, but I do.

seen a few, they are older now, so less around, and I have personally removed the bow from 2 to get more usable space.

It's a shame the original 2 rear seats have been removed and replaced. One of those with the four bucket seats would be awesome.

Were they not called SR "deluxe" ?
From time to time even in Germany they are up for sale .
Some were used by police or other authorities .
Really loved my 5.4 but dont want to imagine to be in choppy water without the option to stand quick up when the right wave hits the boat ..

I have helmed a SR4 deluxe with the four bucket seats and it was great fun and very practical. I would buy one without hesitation if I was in the market for another rib.

I can't remember if "Deluxe" applies to all "leisure layout" four-seaters, or only to SR4s with the moulded deck and transom bracing, instead of stainless struts.

I have had two and currently have one at the moment.. Both with Yam 90's. Current one has the 4 original bucket seats. Just about to repower from a 60 merc to a proper 90 Yam..
Under the bow is a 6ft2 length so you can go camping in your searider, and it is the only Searider you ever stay dry in!

I thought for a minute there had been a DRASTIC change in the weather on the Sunday.

Like buses, you wait for ages and two come along at once. There's another SR5.4 deluxe on eBay. With a white hull and pink spray deck this time.
