RIB around 4m for about £2000

I am looking for a rib in good condition 4m or above, preferably an Avon searider. Looking to spend £2000 on boat and engine, £3000 if it comes with extras.
Any help would be much appreciated

Regards
Cameron

Get a member to pop round and have a look. I bought my RIB blind only to find out the broker was a member on here.

Where abouts is Graeme's SR4?

I would PM graeme and get loads of photos sent to look at, at the price he wants for it you will always get your money back. I have been out with graeme and the boat looked pretty good to me, haven't seen his current engine though, it had a non PTT engine before.
i understand your concerns about buying blind though, but buying off here can be slightly less blind than ebay for example!
Like someone suggested use another ribnetter as a middle man. not me though cos i am not entirely impartial as i know graeme.
at the end of the day £2K aint that much and you wont get a much better one for that money.

I'll second that-That Sr4 is a nice one.
