Welcome to Ribnet!
I think you might have to look a little higher in terms of budget for what you want, but there may be the odd one kicking around. Good luck in your search!

Both look pretty good but I'd be selling the 90 4s on a boat that size, however it looks a v clean boat.

Hi JMW .... How about my Valiant 570 advertised on the Ribs For Sale section of RiB Net?
Great boat ..... I would be happy with any offer over £10,000.00 and you are getting a well serviced, reliable boat that scoots along with the Marina 115!
Good Luck and get in touch........!

V'max hull is good. I really like them having seen a few in some varying seas. Tubes seem pretty good too from the few I've seen.

New ones look awesome.

2nd hand- Fit out varies from shocking to perfection on older boats as many were fitted out (electrics, fuel tanks, rails, jockeys, IT etc) by third parties, fastidious perfectionists and also first timers! It'd be like me trying!! Just get a pro to check it out.

The boat is immaculate and extremely we'll looked after. Currently set up as a dive rib with single console and bottle rack, but Mike Whitlam who built her will be fitting her out with either 4x singles or 2x double jockeys - any advice here welcome!! Hopefully be fitted out and ready to launch in a couple of weeks! Probably look at Anglesey for first launch - any recommendations?
