I am selling my much loved RIB as I am buying a new boat.
I have attached pictures of the boat which is a 2004/5 Zodiac Pro 7 4.2m long and DeGraff trailer (Motor not included.)
For me the 4.2m is about as big as I can handle by myself and is easy to launch and retrieve and will fit in a standard garage. Its been a really nice boat and the setup as you see here easily gets up on the plane fast and has a top speed of 50knots.
There are no patches but I have had the keel professionally repaired for a minor hole when I first bought the boat - The tubes are in good condition with a little bit of light staining in places - mainly from some fish blood and a little rust from fishing gear which has been allowed to sit in the boat for too long. The gel coat inside is good and again has a few stains from rusty stuff - but only minor.
I have washed the boat and trailer down after each dip and the boat has been covered throughout the time it has been out of the water.
Its a nice honest boat which I have made good use of out to Eddystone several times, out around Ramsey Island and along Pembrokeshire, Devon and Dorset coasts. Max rated engine is a 50hp but I believe anything from 25 to 50 Hp should get it up and out of the water. There are towing eyes on the transom and the kids have had a great time being thrown around on a inflatable sea biscuit off the back.
From a spearfishing perspective I have had a max of 4 divers in the boat but it is more comfortable with 2-3 with all the gear. We have scuba dived off the boat and again 3 is the sensible max for that with all gear. It is called a Pro-7 as it is marketed for carrying a max of 7 adults - the most I have had in it is 4 adults and 4 kids.
It has a bow anchor hatch and a little storage under central console.
I am looking for £2750 which seems about right based on what I can see on the market for a 5 year old RIB & Trailer.
