You're having a laugh right? Ribcraft 4.8 needs at least 60hp in my opinion.

I missed this, but no, I'm not. It's adequate. By that I mean it'll plane with a reasonable load and is enough power to get you both into and out of trouble in 6ft of sea, which is the most I've seen with that particular combination.
If you'd just said it was better with 50hp or more, I'd have agreed. It transformed the boat from when we upgraded from a Mercury 40 to a Honda 50, but it was OK to begin with. I've never tried one with 60hp or more, so don't know what benefit you really get.

Seariders have lots of fans on here. That's a Deluxe one — moulded floor and side-by-side seating. Personally, I trust Gumtree about as much as I'd trust a sleeping leopard though, so it'd be worth making sure it definitely exists.
