AVON SEARIDER 5.4m SEMI RIGID INFLATABLE - PROJECTFolks, this is a project boat without a trailer - do not expect to go to sea without working on this classic RIB. The following would be required before you were able to use this boat :-> Obtain and fit outboard engine (suggest 40hp would be fine without heavy diving equipment). Manufacturer suggests 90hp is max engine size.> Obtain and fit fuel tank and fuel line> Obtain and fit steering wheel and steering cable> Obtain and fit throttle and gear selector plus associated cables> Obtain and fit battery (if engine is electric start and / or you need to use nav lights)> Repair tube puncture> Obtain and fit replacement drain tubes> Prepare and paint hull and transomIf you had your own engine, I believe you could get this boat operational for a few hundred pounds. I just don't have the time nor the money to invest in this project right now. Please remember, if you bid, you are bidding to buy. Please feel free to contact me if you want to view beforehand. If you have a spare £2,500 - £3,000 you could simply have this hull re-tubed and you'd be left with effectively a brand new boat. Add a new console at c£600 and you will have a boat worth a lot more than the sum of the parts.
