Unknown RIB

[4AEG]

Can anyone help me and identify what this RIB is?

I've been offered it as a Police repossession and whilst it's an attractive proposition I'd really like to know what it is before I agree etc.

Without having actually run a tape measure over it, I've paced it out to be roughly 7m give or take

I can't find a HIN on it as yet (I've not been given a great deal of access to be fair) but I know it's legit of course with who I would be buying through lol

Couple of pics attached, please help if you can

Cheers

I don't know what the boat is but I'm fairly sure I've seen it for sale recently maybe on ebay or apollo duck?
If that's the case I'd be very wary of its provenance & I'd want lots of documentation to go with it even if it seems to be from a reputable source. Once you pay for it then it becomes your problem to prove it's legit in a few years time when you come to sell it

Hi
Sorry can't help with the make but it was definitely on eBay a couple of weeks ago.

[Bigmuz7]

looks like a north craft to me ?

[Starovich]

Phantom type hull?

[4AEG]

Thanks for your help so far guys. Can't explain why or where for sale recently.

All I know is that it's been in a compound for at least 2 months and I'd be buying from the Police so I'm fairly happy with the legitimacy of it so to speak

I thought maybe Ribcraft but no one seems to be saying that?

It has a HIN that links it to a sunseeker so I'm assuming (at the minute) that it was used as a tender. I'm trying to locate the Sunseeker if possible to expand that.

I'm going to get my engine guy in if I can to plug in to read hours and reset points to establish servicing etc.

Bwm??

Shakespeare 720 ???

[lukewhiting]

Revenger maybe?

[Festinghouse]

hull looks like solent ribs to me Solent Ribs Ltd - Home

[gareth9702]

Definitely not Revenger. The tubes do not taper, among many other differences.

I reckon it a one off

deffo NOT a BWM...

[4AEG]

I think you could well be right!

Having done a little "googling" it's looking very very much like the Shakespeare

Can I ask where the HIN is on yours? Whilst I can't find one externally I know that my Osprey has the HIN repeated in a more obscure position (just in case of course)
I could then verify and all that

Here's a cheeky one, as I don't know much (if anything) about Shakespeare ribs, what would the hull be worth?
The engine I'm happy sorting the value (once I've sorted hours and all that)

Thanks again to all for the help on this

[4AEG]

Mind you, I'm looking at Solent now too and it dos look like that as well! Doing well here aren't i lol

[4AEG]

Nothing I'm looking at seems to have the same double step foredeck though, anyone know who would normally do this?

[Neil Harvey]

Shakespeare did do the double step forward deck. Search on here, pics may still be available. Mine was the first buildt and did not have it.

My HID no is on rear of transom, top right starboard side.

Also had a makers plate attached to console.
Can you post a pic of the transom view looking forward?

[Neil Harvey]

It looks like it has the same transom boxes mine has.

You might find the a frame mount is covering the HIN
