5m Chinook Rib Power Boat

Here for sale is my much loved Chinook F5 RIB. The hull is GRP and has never been antifouled, the tubes are high quality (made from hypalon) in good condition and have no patches. She is a very fast, reliable, capable and comfortable boat. She cruises at 20-30knots and I have had her over 40Knots on flat sea. Would make a perfect safe family boat or I have had 6 large adults for a long day out with plenty of room.The engine is equiped with electric start, tilt and trim. Starts easily first time and runs great, has always been flushed with fresh water immediately after each use (I have access to a freshwater hosepipe where I launch her), serviced yearly and has never let me down. Also includes: DSC radio, fish finder, navigation lights, basic spares/repairs kit, trailer board, cover (see below). Comes with roller coaster trailer making single handed launch and recovery very easy. The trailer was new when I got the boat 4 years ago and has only been used a handful of times.Downsides: needs a new cover (a cover is included but looks tatty and could do with replacing), front nearside tube section has a slow leak, the same thing was happening on the offside front tube 2 years ago and I had a new valve proffesionaly fitted for £80 (it will easily stay up for a week or so and doesn't need replacing if you are happy to top up every now and then). I will be very sad to see her go but I am not getting the use from it and have other adventures requiring funds. This boat will give someone a lot of joy. Low starting price and no reserve. Happy bidding
