Older Bombard and Valiant

How do they hold up ?


Looking for a 5m (ish) rib with 50/60hp 4-stroke. I'm looking to buy one in France because there's more choice and better prices than here in the Netherlands.


I've seen a few nice Bombard Explorer's and Valiants, most are from 2010 or earlier (2004/2005). How do these ribs hold up after 15/17 years ?

I’ve got a 2007 4.5 valiant which I’ve owned and used a lot for 10 years and still looks as good as new.
