Ebay and the Facebook Avon Searider owners group are two good places

Unicorn or a donkey with a dildo on its head? Loads cluttering up the corners of yards or were until lockdown at least perhaps a certain YouTuber has something to do with it but gumtree, eBay , marketplace the boat listings site tend to be outdated and not full of bargains but yards fees will be due soon many are March/April seasonal so keep eyes peeled and hunt round local Marinas……..depends how much of a project you are looking for

When did the RNLI use evinrude? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...7883389440983/

I did not know that always thought they were Mariner then Yamaha twin 50/55 on a 21ft seems really small now! Was just looking at an SR6 with twin 60’s wondering if it would take a 150+

I can recall an Atlantic 75 that had a pair of Evinrude on the back!

If you think the Searider 4.0 or Deluxe is rare, then a 4.7m hull is like pinning the tail on the unicorn!

Definitely a project.

As Mad Max would say - 'Two days ago I saw a vehicle that'd haul that tanker'

Here's an SR4.0.
