5m RIB in the UK

[Lewberry6]

Hello,

Looking for a 5m rib in the UK, preferably south coast. Been browsing the usual boat sale sights but they seem to be nipped up pretty quickly at my price point.

Looking for a well kept boat with at least a 50hp ish outboard.

£10k budget.

Anyone selling anything? Hoping to view a 5m Zodiac on Monday if it hasn’t gone over the weekend and found a valiant 450 but it’s been newly antifouled which was a bit of turn off…

Thanks
Lewis

Hi Lewis

I have a 4.85M Bombard Explorer with a 50HP Suzuki 4-stroke for sale. I am based in Cornwall and the boat is on a trailer in Fowey.

Is this of interest? If so I can provide further details and photos.

Thanks,

Marcus

Hi. I have your perfect rib. It is a bit more money though. It is a Zodiac Medline 1 with 70hp 4 stroke Suzuki outboard. She is on a brand new unbraked roller coaster trailer (never seen the water)
The Rib comes with electronics & nav lights, boarding ladder. Front and back seats change to bathing decks.
Fantastic boat for £12,000

Thanks for the help. At the moment still browsing. Currently weighing up either sticking with the 10k budget, waiting for a little more cash and going for something a little bigger or trying out one of the multiple rib share companies in my local area for this season.

I know of a 4.8 ribcraft coming up at 12k in th every near future if that fits.
