Boat Type: Rigid Inflatable
A hypalon RIB from this good quality brand. It comes with a Mercury 15hp which makes this manoeuvrable RIB quite zippy. It comes with a good quality Plastimo 12L fuel tank, single oar, foot pump and baler. The Indespension galvanised trailer is in good condition although the wheels are rusty and tyres could do with a little air. It comes with the foam jockey wheel for puncture free use.
This has been used by the current owner for pottering about on the Thames, visiting pubs. Markings on the engine lid show this was previously owned by a boat club. I'm not sure of the age of this but understand you can find out by emailing Avon. Condition... This is holding air but has a slow leak somewhere. The owner hasn't needed to fix it so it's something to do but not urgent.
I didn't notice any previous repairs to tubes. The seams all appear good, bar one on the top grey seam at the front which lifts slightly - perhaps the source of the slow leak and easily glued down again. The hull appears in good, used condition. The tubes are a bit grubby and could do with a good clean although this was just given a quick clean for photographs. The vinyl seat has a few cracks and also needs the hinge screws re-installing.
Being picky, some new side rope grabs would pretty this up a bit although current ones perfectly functional.
