SIB's spotted on eBay thread - Page 12

There's a price for everything and for that 2003 Aerotec it needs to allow for the fact the transom seams have already been repaired in places and need some more fettling.

Nice fitting floor though... I have a thing about floor fit!

Pretty poor listing for an Aerotec.

Lovely minty Avon (Fenlander, down your way...).

Similar to my old 3.1 but even better condition... look at the immaculate transom, floor and oars.

Another Aerotec , been on before? I can't remember, so many of late.. auction number 122014805943

There was another ended at the weekend (not meeting reserve), I contacted the guy earlier last week and it was a very nice outfit, 2002. He was after £2300 I think outside eBay but a bit much.

Well just an engine but hell of a buy if it checks out OK...

Yamaha 15hp 2-stroke for £850 or best offer. Amazed that's not been snapped up in the first hour it was listed...

And here is the oldest Aerotec I've ever known of... 1996. Note the grey cone ends... only ever seen them in black right back to 1998. Have to say it does look almost new condition... look at the shiny data plate and fixings.. they rarely look like that at 20yrs old unless virtually unused.

Low £390 start (compared to most) but it would have needed ideal storage conditions and a lot of luck to avoid glue failure being just over the horizon.

Not on eBay but seemed interesting for anybody in Ireland. Class D

Yaba on the face of it that Gumtree Honwave 3.2 isn't very exciting with an old Evinrude 4hp.

However get a deal on it around £875 then perhaps sell the outboard off for £225 (guessing that figure) and for £650 you have £1400+ of kit at new prices. Having the transom wheels, Bravo HP pump, floating Standard Horizon, lifejackets & anchor really does make it a ready to go outfit once a larger motor is added.

This one has a deposit on it, potential WOW or too good to be true? https://www.gumtree.com/p/boats-kaya...ine/1179697286 academic anyway due to the deposit..
If it all checked out ok someone has just got a very good deal

Fenlander · 24 July 2016, 11:38

As you say... if genuine this is probably bargain of the year.

dogboy · 24 July 2016, 17:57

surely it has to be a scam.....
when they ask you to email a phone number they generally are

thestig1973 · 24 July 2016, 18:04

Advert is fairly well written, not full of the usual dire spelling, but seems too cheap and the current owner seems knowledgeable about the boat.... Why would anyone put the effort into writing an advert and purposely not include direct contact details? 🙄🤔

koogsy · 25 July 2016, 21:32

was this the bombard 380? the advert has been removed now so can't see?

Fenlander · 25 July 2016, 21:34

Yes it was... have you just bought it?

koogsy · 25 July 2016, 21:52

yes i bought it, i have been looking for a while for a small boat for fishing off around the coast. i seen it on gumtree when it had just been posted so emailed the seller, i then noticed the map on the bottom of the ad which showed exactly where it was so decided to go straight there as it seemed cheap and was only 30 mins drive from my house.. by the time i got there the bloke said that he had loads of emails about it and because i showed up first i could have it... never heard of the make before so that night i googled it and came across this website.. the whole package i got is like new, well chuffed, shall be out fishing in the next few days hopefully..
