That looks very much like my old SR4.7 which was my new 4.7 when I bought it in 2003 . I regretted selling it and would be interested in buying it myself but I have a 4.7 which I'm just about to put back in the water(DEJA VOODOO).

It is rare and I think it can support that price if it is immaculate and the engine carries a service history. It's a buyers market at the moment so you can always make a cheeky offer 5.5 perhaps and see what happens.

BTW that sr4.7 was the best boat I've owned I regretted selling it and still do I don't think you will regret buying it if you do. As it's in Fareham I'll happily come and have a look at it if you need a second opinion

If you have biggish hands you will need to move the throttle out a bit as I used to catch my hand between the throttle and the steering wheel sometimes.

Thanks that is very good of you. I'll keep you posted.

Got some more photos and after several phone calls I arranged to buy it and I was collecting tomorrow afternoon, but then got a message saying someone offered very near to the asking price so he took it!

I am so gutted!!!

I have just phoned and is still for sale.

you will have to pay the asking price though.

No, just rang him and it's sold! someone has put a deposit on it yesterday and collecting later today???? He said I was the first caller and then the phone has not stopped ringing with people telling him that it's really rare and worth more????

Shame really, but you win some and you lose some.

Still really gutted though!

Looked a really nice one -

Rogue Wave · 29 July 2009, 21:13

at least you never got to use it . you'd be a lot more upset then!

Rogue Wave · 29 July 2009, 22:25

I bought a very nice searider a year ago which was dry stored in North Wales, As I haven't seen it since I bought it I've decided to bring it down south and sell it!
