My rib. Camel trophy.
  so after searching all over Scotland I finally found a rib that was worth traveling for. Very honest and nice seller make it all a lot easier. It's an ex camel trophy press rib. Basically a ribtec 6.55. Everything work spot on and the engine is a cracker. It is a quick rib. It's a 200 hpdi yamaha with only 112 hrs on the clock. I feel it's a lot of rib for 6500 pound. :-)

Hi,
Does it have an "open deck" in front of the console? If so, I think it's my old one.
Anyway, enjoy 
Steve

Sounds like my old one then. I operated her as a "bare boat" charter boat from about 2003 to 2005 in Portsmouth. Re engined her with an Opti 200hp. So similar to what she has now. A great boat which provided hours of fun - I'm sure you'll get the same.
If you PM me, I'll tell you the story of why she has an open bow (nothing to be worried about )

Nope it's a massive secret only me and Steve know. Haha. But I'm yet to be told the story of why yet myself.

Cheers for all the nice comments guys. Only job I can see needing done is the seat need recovered and and a two new battery's to be safe. Going to service the engine once the weather gets better as it pouring down here just now.
