Searider on ebay

Some people do talk rubbish! If the tubes don't leak £500 is a very good price (have seen them go for over £700) , with a clean up would make a sound basis for a project, take a look at Ollys website to see how he transformed his SR4: http://www.ollysrib.741.com

Here are some Seariders that have been on ebay in the past, check what they have gone for:

Searider 1

Searider 2

Searider 3

All the ones you listed had engines on? Bill higham will give £500 quid for a non runner. So £250 - £300 quid is about right for ebay in my opinion.

True, but I still think £500 is about right if you can get the trailer thrown in.
Bill Higham, well enough said, they seem to waste your time. Take a look at their current stock, always brings a smile to my face, not sure who would spend £2k on a '70s Chrysler.
If it goes for more than £500 I owe you an apology!!!

Good Grief, cant believe the prices of some of the older engines, especially the chrysler ones! I guess some folks must pay those prices or near them as Bill has been in business for 40 years! Makes a new engine even more appealing i must say.

Sounds like a fair enough deal, I managed to resist, although I was very tempted. Engine wise, I ve got a 2001 Mariner 40HP im considering selling, (tuition fees etc), pm me if your interested.

best of luck,

Alex

I've gotta admit mine looked a lot worse than that when I bought it and there was bugger all wrong with it-but I paid £150 for my hull on a snipe trailer (I'm one of those jammy bastards who seems to be in the right place at the right time....)

Stephen-RIB · 18 February 2006, 22:40

Got back from sunny West Country (not) ok, pretty pleased with my new RIB as the trailer seems good, the guy threw in a nice cover for it which looks almost brand new apart from one small hole which is easily repaired. The rib itself is just dirty and in need of a clean, Ribshine will bring her back I am sure. I am just toying with taking the the front console off and fitting a centre console.

Really excitng little project for me and I will post some before and after snaps for you all soon.

Cheers

cool-look forward to seeing what you do with it.

If you want a good centre console contact leeway composites (he's a trade member on here) or go to his website www.leewaycomposites.co.uk -he supplied mine and is at least 40% cheaper than any other consoles I've seen-mine was about £185ish (without seat) including colouring it avon orange. Bloody good quality too.

Bembridge outboards have his consoles on sale for £450 so it's well worth contacting him direct.
