Broker's Comments

Renowned for exceptional safety, strength, stability, speed and comfort, these Ribcraft 4.8M RIB's excel in rough conditions. So much so this particular model from Ribcraft, won the title of fastest under 5 meter RIB to circumnavigate the UK.

The tubes hold air and show to be in excellent condition for the age of the boat. Recently serviced (May 2023) the engine starts, runs and performs very well. The service included all new spark plugs, fresh gear oil, full grease etc.

The electrical wiring has been replaced throughout although still requires reconnecting to the navigation light switches.. Navigational aids include a fishfinder/depth 140 and a GPS 152.

The trailer and boat weight do not exceed 750kgs, therefore the trailer does not require brakes and can easily be towed behind the family car.

A capable, 'go anywhere' RIB, small enough to manage solo or with a partner, big enough to take 6, safe and stable enough to cope with the rough stuff and to top it off, economic to run.
