SIB's spotted on eBay thread

[Max...]

Yam 15 package, not a big name SIB but could be good value at less than the asking:

Popping this one up for a really as it’s the shortest SIB I’ve ever seen.

WTF is that? May as well put an outboard on a rubber ring.

Also if anyone spots a used F-Rib 330 or 360 please post.

Yes, yes, not a SIB but the natural step up for many SIB owners is an SR4 and had to post this somewhere, this looks a rare unabused example with a great engine:

Looks can be very deceiving. Old and original sometimes a better option, instead of nice and shiny looking.

I thought that was posted on here a few weeks ago, someone doing it up? [emoji848]

Indeed - as it says in post No.1 of this very 36 page topic:

(As always buyer beware, never make payment before seeing boat, verifying owner, checking engine etc, blah, blah... )

>>>Looks can be very deceiving. Old and original sometimes a better option, instead of nice and shiny looking.

Just for my general understanding I'd be interested in being talked through what thoughts/concerns that SR4 would raise as a used purchase.

From the images it ticked several of the boxes I like to see in a used smallcraft and after all it is some £2500 cheaper than folks might lay out on a new outfit of 375 Frib with 20hp and trailer.

Theres a refurb thread on here the gearbox was cracked and repaired with epoxy filler its gonna need a gearbox soon, apart from that it looks a decent refurb

[Fenlander]

Ahh thanks I understand now. The Ebay ad gives the impression of a boat that's always been well kept rather than recently tidied from unkempt over a few weeks.... as you say all shown in the thread on here...

Filling and painting that damaged gearbox for own use is one thing... but to sell on with no mention???

You said it David.

Caveat emptor, caveat emptor, caveat emptor...

Afternoon all. A fair priced package here although bundled gear seems like it might be from a few years back there’s enough to get you started. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193484322917 usual glue warnings to be thought about though as it’s a 2002 model and slow leak to floor section which seller is open about.

Plus’s are engine stand, steering to use or sell on and genuine launch wheels.

[Fenlander]

Not heard from you in a while Yaba... hope things are OK your end.

Good spot. The Yamaha, trolley, steering, transom wheels and pump are a really good set of "extras" to the Aerotec. Quite right to issue the glue warning. Floor "should" be no problem to sort.

Not a SIB again but cheap bundle spotted here for some skis etc and a wakeboard if you wanted to try it out:

What a fine going ocean vessel that is.

I’ll always have a soft spot for the Zodiac 340, my first SIB. This is not a bad outfit but getting on in years and maybe a bit pricey:

Another outfit from the unloved Parsun and a generic Chinese craft but maybe a bargain for trying the pastime and comes with lots of extra value items:
