Good Usable Dinghy Trailer With Flatacraft Force 3 Rib Project

This is really an ad for a little dinghy trailer in usable order, with a RIB project included - both sold as they stand. These pictures were taken in September 2016 the day I took this Force 3 RIB and trailer out of the garage to make way for a camper tent. I posted an ad on classifieds board but in the next day or so the darn thing went flat and I had to cancel the auction. For some reason one of the side seams split open (glue failure?) and I was going to re-glue it and advertise again, but never got around to it. Since these pics were taken six months ago (Sept 24th 2016), the boat has been out in all weathers filling up with rain water and getting covered in soggy leaves, etc.

So it looks pretty horrid at the moment, but will look more like these pics with a bit of a scrub - and that tube repair, obviously. It has a new hardwood transom that needs bolting in, and the plywood seats (planks!) could do with renewing too. I have no idea what, if anything, else is wrong with it. That's up to the next owner to find out, but it seemed pretty viable when I took it out of the shed until the seam failed. The trailer pictures were taken on the same date, and has been outside for six months too.

As you can see from the pics it is very sound and usable, although the bunks need sorting out for whatever boat you want to put on it. I don't know if the RIB is worth anything in this condition, but might be fun for somebody to salvage. As you can see it has a centre console with steering and engine controls (steering wheel needs replacing, and the steering gear might be worth something too, but there's significant wear to some of the plastic sleeves on the cables, etc. The trailer is definitely worth £120-£130 which is what I paid for it (separately to the boat) a couple of years back. Apart from the last six months it has been dry stored, hence is in sound condition.

I'm selling it together with the RIB and won't split the lot. If you want to tow it away you'll need a ratchet strap and/or some rope to keep the boat on the trailer - and you'll have to bring a light board. Trailer and boat are viewable in Arundel Sussex until auction ends. Cash on collection only please. Happy bidding!
