come on boys and girls xmas is only round the corner nobody want my hard earned cash,,, its burning a big ole in my sky rocket.... i wana rib yesterday nueg

simmons0 · 01 December 2003, 15:54

Im currently lookign for a rib anyting form 5.5m to 6.2m and if you want a good example 6m or over you will definatly have to fork out 13k+

11-12k will get you an old 6m with an old 2-stroke engine.
For a mint 6m expect about 14k
For an average 7m expect 16-17k

People might disagree but ive spent 2 or 3 months now searching for my next boat and these are the prices you'll have to pay.

I have a 5.4 sea rider, fully refurbished, new tubes, hull re gelcoated, new triple jockey, new roller trailer, new 75hp Mariner. you can have that for a good price not to far off your budget.

How about a 6.2 with an Opti 200 on the back for £12k?? http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F21046 (Bet it's already gone!)
or a Ribcraft with attitude: http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F24432

nugent · 02 December 2003, 21:20

i have allready e-mailed the second one still awaiting a reply

gone i know it b4 i ring

simmons0 · 02 December 2003, 21:30

That ribcraft is going to be mad. Check the weight of the engine, im suposing it is well within the limit though

I test drove a ribcraft 5.85 with a 115 suzi 4/s and it really shifted.
I was told 40 knots. Cant confirm that but withh that 150 V-max its gonna be abosolutly mad.

Looks liek hes played around with the prop too, twin proped...
Buy it!

Richard B · 02 December 2003, 22:02

That 150 V-max is standard - have a look here: http://www.yme.com/page.cfm?pageID=95703
The bad news is that it's a carb. engine

A teeny bit more info here: http://www.yme.com/page.cfm?pageID=95704

There's a couple of Opti's owned by forum members that have done similar mileage to the motor on that Ocean, tho.

simmons0 · 02 December 2003, 22:08

have a closer look at the hull on that ocean. Deep enough up front but the back looks very shallow. Presumably for planning with lots of v.heavy divers onboard.

Nothign like a full length deep vee

nugent · 02 December 2003, 22:09

ahhhh may of landed at last

1999 7.3mtr wide body northcraft 90hp honda 4 smoke £8000.00 gps, fish finder, vhf etc engine still under warnty + 4hp aux... wat ya fink on the right track ere or what? oping to view sat if he returns me call

sounds a bargain trailer is said to be poor but can get sbs roller trailers at the right doe no aman that can in the midlands you see...

nueg

Richard B · 02 December 2003, 22:22

90 on a 7.3? That's only 5hp more than on your old RIB, Ted! Dunno anything about Northcraft.

Simmo - take a protractor to view a RIB! See what you mean - doesn't look like the huge deep V on a big Ocean RIB - but then pictures can sometimes be deceptive. I don't think there's anything wrong with a rounded v hull - some Ospreys are like that, although I've never tried one!

nugent · 02 December 2003, 22:27

did cross me mind as its heavey'er too than a 2 smoke

being from a motorcross back ground i know that a 250cc 4 stroke is only as good as a 125cc 2 stroke fookin ell decisions all the time

nugent · 02 December 2003, 22:31

still cheap though...maybe buy it and trade in honda for 150hp optimax or simmilar @ the right doe need to speak to me local dealer 2 morrow me thinks osprey dealer so should know the crack !! right nuff for me off tae bed now...

Andy Gee · 03 December 2003, 07:41

Our diving club has a Northcraft 6m ish fitted with a 150 Mariner, I am no that keen on it, its not a very deep V and to be honest not that clever in a big sea. Quality build wise its okay.
