For sale is our brilliant Avon Searider 5.4m navy spec RIB. Fully refurbished in 2014, with literally everything replaced bar the tubes which are original, in good condition and fully air-tight. I know the price may seem a bit higher than some other Avon ribs on the market at the moment but please consider the following:I am a marine electronics engineer by trade and have completed all the refurbishment work myself to the highest standards and with great care and attention to detail. This has been my own personal boat for the last couple of years and i've spent many hours (and a lot of money!) on her, no job has been bodged or done cheaply just to sell her on quickly, I've had many happy days out with my young family. Some of the items included (engine, trailer and full cover) are expensive to buy individually. This boat looks great and is ready to get on the sea straight away. Price includes: Yamaha 75hp 2 stroke outboard engine giving 33 knots fully loaded.Full cover in very good condition.SBS R2-1300-B trailer included. Bluesea circuit breakers and power distribution. AGM 12v battery with dedicated charging point.All new Yamaha engine instrumentation and controls; including new cables, wiring and looms. Ultraflex hydraulic steering system.New twin Yamaha fuel tanks and Yamaha fuel water separator.Custom made bilge pump, sump with automatic pump out.  Navigational equipment incudes:Icom IC-M505 DSC VHF Garmin 55DV chart plotter/sounderAs well as replacement of electrical equipment, restoration also included:Full refurbishment of the A-frame which was stripped and powder coated.Complete hull refurbishment, now immaculate with no anti-fouling. Deck stripped back to fibreglass and re-gel coated (no paint).Aquaturf was added to the deck for increased safety and comfort. There is a customised jockey seat, which was re-upholstered and a backrest added. The seat can accommodate 3 adults.The customised helm has been raised for comfort and maximum visibility.There is a customised anchor locker which doubles as an additional seat.Honestly, this is likely to be the best example of an SR5.4 you’ll see. Incredibly seaworthy for it’s size and built to withstand the abuse of the Royal Navy! In full working order and ready to get you out on the sea straight away.I am happy for serious buyers to come and have a look or sea-trial if they'd like to. Am also open to sensible offers close to the asking price.  Ideal for days out with the family, blasts on your own or fishing trips with your mates! Our kids have loved this boat and we have had some great days out. It’s only for sale as we’d ideally like something slightly bigger so we can venture further afield next year. Buyer to collect, or I may be able to deliver locally for petrol costs. Please contact me to discuss.
