Diesel cabin rib.

Looking for a diesel cabin rib, 8-10 meters, Redbay/ parker/excalibur type. Ideally would like to spend up to 30k but would go higher for a bargain. Please email me with a few pictures eddy@ellary.com.

You can't polish a turd, which is what you'll get for 30 k. I post but it's a lot more than that

I started writing something to that effect the other night but couldn't find a succinct and elegant way to express it! I assume the OP has looked at the used section of redbay's site: Pre-owned Boats - Redbay Boats
and at "find a fishing boat site": Ribs inflatables for sale - FAFB

It's a coastline hull. I developed it and built it for myself and as I specialise in this sort of thing you will not find another like it. I am biased but there is plenty of guys on here who will stand up to be counted on how good this old girl is

Thanks for the emails, I have now agreed to purchase a new toy. I have even got a few pounds left over for some new turd polishing clothes.

I told you, you can't polish a turd, best of luck on your new toy, with your bargain hunting skills perhaps you could find me a nice house down the West Country, like Wilk said, what ya get

Is there any difference between turd polishing & a refurb or improvement thread
Perhaps you should start a turd polishing thread as there's loads of refurb threads.
I'm pretty sure they are the same thing realy!
Best of luck with you new boat & let us see some pictures of a nice shiny turd😉

I suppose there a few brands of turd polish but I believe that King George is one of the better known brands......

I couldn't bring myself to call customers boats shyte, I have a lovely looking Ribtec here with a nice diesel in it, with all the bits on it, and I'm sure to the untrained eye it's worth handsome money. It needs stripping out and a new deck.
Not the first one either, you guys will know the ballistic that I did recently.
I hope the guys boat is really good, I'm just saying it as I have found it.
