Can anyone help value my Humber RIB?

[charlie_charlie]

I've decided to sell my RIB after many years of fun with the family. However, I have no idea what its worth. I'm told that COVD times have had a very positive impact on RIB values but I really have no idea so need some help. Grateful if anyone has any feedback to help my advert writing!

2011 Humber Destroyer 5.6m (2 jockey seats in line)
Honda BF50 - serviced every year
Red Tubes with 4 large grey hypalon reinforced areas
Nav lights, Fixed VHF, Depth Sounder, Bilge Pump
Cover & Road Trailer (4 years old)

Boat has been well used but also well looked after. Always stored on trailer with cover or in drystack (Never stored on water). I put reinforced Hylaon areas on topsides of tubes to extend their life.

i think thats quite a high price for a 2003 mainly because of the new tubes and newish outboard .also it should really be on a braked trailer tbh its not a kick in the arse off the price of a new one .

i recently got chatting to a guy in a service station who was on his way home with a 5.5 destroyer he had just bought it also had red tubes but a black hull and a honda may have been a 50 poss a 75 not sure .it was on a quite new looking braked trailer though and i think he said he paid £7500 for his .i thought he had got a bargain

It looks to me that there is a healthy premium being put on this because of new tubes and it being sold via a dealer. Certainly a nice example - thanks for pointing it out!

That certainly does sound like a bargain! I agree about the braked trailer. I bought an unbraked trailer, which is the one that I'm selling with the boat, but I will admit to having a bit of buyers remorse shortly afterwards - got sucked into a boat show deal and bought it on the spot! It's always towed fine for me but got a big SUV which can tow anything but this size boat is probably on the limit for unbraked...

So somewhere between £7,500 and £17K. Quite a range to work with! I'm thinking of advertising at £10,450....thoughts?

I suspect a picture might be useful for all purposes !

Needs a bit of a clean - red tubes look a bit dull on these but they come up quite nice when they've been polished!

I would advertise it for 15k if you’re not in a huge rush to sell it.

What have you got to lose?

This [emoji115]Also wait till spring if you can. The difference in demand((value) could mean thousands of ponds in your pocket,
