The boat is one of the most popular Rigid Inflatable Boats on the water and one of the last of the Avons. This is a great size for the family as it is easy to handle, very cheap to run, a fantastic sea boat and it will fit into a standard garage. Avon Hypalon ribs are very popular as motor yacht and sailing yacht tenders, Hypalon ribs are capable of handling harsh environments and intense sun and ultra violet, the Hypalon fabric and the build quality are the reason these boats are so sought after throughout as they last so much longer than many other cheaper boats with Polyurethane tubes. The tubes are in really good condition with no patches or repairs and the interior is virtually unmarked.Avon 340s also have a long transom unlike other 3.4M ribs making them more seaworthy and drier especially from the backwash when you come off the plane.This is a great boat and an extensive package.
It can easily be stored in any garage. A Hypalon Avon with a four stroke power tilt in this condition is a very sought after boat and the beauty of this brand is that they hold their money so well, so you know your investment is safe if you ever change your mind in the future unlike some other rib purchases. The boat is Cat C and rated for 5 Adults + luggage and there is ample room to move around the boat safely and to load equipment and gear for the day. Definition of Category C:Category C - Inshore: Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including, wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2m may be experienced. The boat is in exceptional all round condition everything is in perfect working order as you would expect from a well cared for boat.
This is a nice light package and if you did ever get caught out by the tide or run up on a sand bank she could be easily re-launched. The boat tows very well thanks to a brand new trailer to be registered in your name and with 24 months warranty from collection. It is very easy to launch and recover on your own. OutboardThis set up has a 20hp four stroke power trim and electric key start engine ( 2 keys) which is very reliable and economical. It has just been serviced and won’t need servicing again until April 2019.
It is also the largest power tilt model you could fit to this rib (60.5kg) as the 25hp PTT model weighs over 70kg and this boat is rated for 62kg. The power tilt is a very nice feature when coming to shore and rare on smaller boats. The boat comes up quickly on to the plane and is fast, practical and very economical and will go all day on a tank. It is perfectly balanced with this 20hp Yamaha which has very low hours and has been well looked after, it is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic order with just a few light blemishes to the cowl. It runs perfectly starts effortlessly on the first flick of the key and pumps plenty of water.
Always meticulously washed through with no corrosion. Comes with two keys and all the manuals. Ready to go with a great battery and a 12 litre fuel tank This fourstroke outboard is amazingly economical and practical and ideal for pulling a junior on inflatables or a wakeboard and will go all day on its 12 litre tank with general use. It pushes the boat onto the plane with ease. Trailer- March 2018 This is a super quality (14thMarch 2018 build) Extreme 350 Super Roller Trailer and comes with 12 months warranty.
Meets the latest EU laws and is approved to European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA) standards. Comes with lighting board and the boat will be strapped on with ratchet straps. Cover:A 2018 all over RIB cover with tie down web loops. If you could still buy Avons this rib package with this Extreme trailer and this electric start Yamaha four stroke, would be over £9000 new. Whoever buys this RIB will get a superb example of a very well balanced package.
