Ex Rnli Class D Lifeboat - Rib Rib Boat - Rare

For sale is my husband's ex RNLI Class D lifeboat. Due to my poor health and other commitments he has not been able to get out on the water for the last year so it is with a heavy heart we are parting with it.The floor has been recently varnished with Le Tonkinis marine varnish and so is in very good condition, we have had a protective closed cell rubberized flooring over it to protect it as my husband used to use it as a dive boat.Those of you who know anything about these will know that it is a very safe and stable boat and an ideal platform for diving or visiting beaches or just simply being out on the water.It has an ex rnli 40hp Mariner engine. 2004. We have a video of it running if you would like to see it at https://youtu.be/xo9Gt0YpYWw. We think it needs a good service as it seems to choke itself out. Purchased last year from Bill Higham in Manchester, lovely engine with with loads of pull the prop being designed to pull boats in need of rescue.
