This should be considered as a boat that needs  some work / TLC . I bought it as a going concern  some years ago with a view to just putting it on the water and not  being too fussed about it ,, but made the mistake  of  starting to make improvement's / tidying and so became a project that I will never finish  so need to hand it on to someone who will spend the time / effort . These Ribs are very tough and stable as they are double hulled and have a self draining stability tank . The Tubes  hold  their air well , The hull  has the usual scrapes  for used boat but no significant damage  .  It is complete except that I cant find the fuel line . The trailer has a new towing hitch, new / extra rollers  and a spare wheel , the tyres are good . It comes with a foot pump inflator , stainless steel fuel tank , anchor , flushing ears . I did see  the engine running  when I first bought it but  think it will need some maintenance  before it will  be a reliable runner , I cant demonstrate it  running now .The bores have been kept  oiled and it turns over nicely with compression , the starter  will turn it over . Whilst I kept it lubricated  the gear selection has seized , I have wd40 'd it but  will probably need some attention . After all this time  the water pump impeller must need changing . The steering and remotes seem fine . If you have a known  engine  then guess  you could  put in on the water  and off you go with very little work .
