I have a similar set up, with just 1 person it feels very quick and can be quite a handful if its choppy, gets just over 30kts trimmed out. With 2 or more in its fantastic, a really nice sib with a decent turn of speed. If going out on my own I generally put a 15hp on instead, plenty of power but not as mental at the top end.
Your motor is huge in size but it is the correct weight and power rating for the boat.

im a bit skeptical about wether or not this zodiac guy is legit, but i've also spotted an avon R310 with console, 15hp honda, and galvanised trailer for £1000, it's local, so i've sent the fella a message asking if I can arrange a viewing.
Would probobly much rather have that than the SIB anyway, looking online guys are suggesting 20knots 2 up with a 15hp on a R310, which is plenty IMO!

The Honda is probably a 4 stroke?? So heavier but no need for oil mixing obviously. £1000 sounds good if its in good nick!

gutted!
It as indeed fourstroke and would have been just perfect for me, could have kept it at the yacht club and just launched/recovered when using it....
it sold a few hours after the ad went up. I e-mailed the fella 3 hours after he put it up so it didn't hang around for long.
given up on the zodiac idea, after I asked for pics with my name and todays date they stopped replying to my messages, i also see several ads on boats and outboards for the highlands and islands where the boat is really cheap and they say they can deliver..... most of them have teh same mobile number when I called it frm a witheld number there was no answer.
Very much doubt i'll find anything like the avon again anytime soon, certainly nothing nearby anyway

I have a Tinker Tramp for sale if you are interested, it can sail as well as work like a SIB with an outboard .Not fast as max HP is 4HP but great fun all the same.
pm me if interested. Hard to get something decent in NI! The chaps in Mullan Marine can do a new Honda with a really nice used 15HP outboard for about £2k if you can stretch to that?

Hello there! I'm in bangor too! thanks for the offer but a tinker tramp just wouldn't cut it!
Ive never heard of mullan marine before, but could possibly stretch to that for something nice....
have they a website? or a stock list somewhere?
would that price include a trailer or launching trolly

sorry their name is Sands Marine Bayliner Boats, Fishing Boats, Outboard Motors used to called Mullan Marine.
They had a nice 15HP Mariner (£1100ish) and were doing to for about £2k with a new Honwave (the alu floor one). It was a few months back and may be sold by now but worth a call if you are in the market.

Ah cheers,
If I was going to spend that much i'd be looking for a small tender type rib with a console really.
Wish I had never seen that avon now as I don't think i'll be happy until I get something similar...

Keep looking they do come up. I missed a YAM 380s with a lovely 25HP and trailer for £700 last year!
There is a chap selling a SR4 with no engine for about £500 on Gumtree, if you could source an engine would that not suit you?

yeah i had spotted yhe sr4, but its a bit older than what id consider ideal, and would need at least a 30 on yhe back, more looking for something where a 25 would be absolute max, preferably 15/20, just to keep the fuel costs down. smaller the better as id want to launch and recover alone too...
think ill just make it my business to check gumtree alot over the next while...

Its back on B&O and even cheaper, I know you have your doubts about the seller, but apart from the seriously cheap price I think the ad looks quite genuine. At least the seller prefers cash on collection and the setting of the photo could be Scotland !

If they were genuine im sure they could have managed to write my name on a bit of papaer and take a photo of it beside the engine for 1500quid..... 
that, and the fact they have blatently copied an old ebay ad, kinda put me off.

Fair enough and good spot on the ebay ad, it just didnt 'feel' like a scam ad to me. He might just be rubbish at selling stuff
