Now Sold.

P.s. very sad to see her go

Raider (ribcraft hull) 4.8m rib with Mariner 50hp 4stroke elec start and power tilt. Sad to be selling, but just don't have the time to use for the foreseeable. Fantastic rib, regarded as the best seakeeping boat of it's size, and better than many larger boats in a big sea! Kept in great condition, ...

As soon as I've got the boat sorted and tested on a run to make sure it's all good I'll be keen for the Iow trip, also available most days around part time work. All welcome to join provided small amount of experience, plenty of fuel for a long trip and a back capable of surviving the Solent if in a...

Hopefully no issues with your new boat sonny1 . Hoping a new thermostat and a good flush will fix my issues but currently away in France, on something a bit bigger but inland. Hopefully sort a meet down south at some point in August. I really want to do a lap of the Isle of Wight from Christchurch w...

Nice to hear some consistency on the raider brand. Saw on the transom plate the original address was xch so nice to bring it back to its home town I guess.

Could well have been me if it was over on the Wick Slipway, was out Friday and Saturday

Yeah really pleased with the new rib. The ribcraft hull does perform well out on the water. Quite like the look of the banana tube profile compared to the segmented style to be fair, same as my last 2 boats. As for the wakeboard rack, will be very useful for me as I do enjoy watersports with a few m...

So, having sold my Mercury Ocean Runner 350 / 20hp combo I have managed to pick up a Ribcraft 4.8 (that might not actually be a Ribcraft 4.8... says raider on the side). My impression is it's a Ribcraft 4.8 hull, console, frame etc with raider doing the tubes as these parts look near identical. Weth...
