Rigid Inflatable Boat

Me and a friend want to buy a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) of about 15 horsepower really cheap (possibly under £100). We have looked on ebay and various others but cannot find one that is complete (with motor included) and that is small enough. Does anyone know where i can buy one and who from? It would be best if it was in or near the North of England
Thanks.

Not sure if you'll be able to find anything for less than 100 (well, nothing that floats). You'll probably have to fork out a few more dollars for a good inflatable. I've seen them at various marine supply stores (Pride, Overton, West, etc.) West Marine has web coupons that may ease the pain a little.

They might even ship to you for free!
Good luck with finding the right boat.

The 11-Meter Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boat (11M NSW RIB) is a high speed, high buoyancy, extreme weather craft with the primary ...

I'd like to get a rigid inflatable and need some advice. I want one with a center console and small enough to fit in a small garage (with trailer).

What should I look for when purchasing? Could I get a decent used one for under 4k?

What can I realistically do with it? I'm looking to cruise the coast here in Southern California.

Any advice?

I used to sell inflatable boats and I can concure with everything everyone said about the seaworthiness of a RIB plus the fact that Zodiac has had major problems....they used a PVC fabric that had the seams come apart and transoms fall off. Supposedly those problems are in the past........

I have an older Avon RIB that I just love; unfortunately Zodiac bought Avon a while back and they just aren't the same.

AB and Caribe make good boats, as does Brig, which is a little harder to find.

Buy a boat made from Hypalon, NOT PVC!!

Minimum size for a console is 12 foot; bigger is better.

You could get a boat for under 4K..... but not with an engine!

If you buy from a "Big Box" marine store, check to see who makes the 'house brand'

Semi-rigid inflatable boats such as zodiac zoom SR series are foldable. But how foldable? Can it fit in a camry's trunk?

I don't believe this will fit in the trunk of a sedan, it is probably hard plastic and will be what ever length you have, so you will need a truck or a small traliler which you cammry will haul. good luck. P.S. you can get a hitch for your camry at etrailer.com if you really want to haul this boat.

We produce Rigid Inflatable Boats (www.vsrlab.com)

How can I persuade all the rescuers, sailors, divers, coaches and other professionals of this world, that my boats are exactly what they need?

Firstly, you need look for buyers in all over the world, you can post and show your products in many B2B website, such as globalsaler.com, tradekey.com etc.

We want to sell inflatable boats to UK markets. rigid inflatable boat with trailer and motors; and soft bottom inflatable boats, rafting boats.

Thanks.

Rather than targeting a B2B website to sell your boats, check for sites with interest in the type of boats you offer. Look for sites about rafting - there's an example of one below. That came up by just searching on rafting.

A generalist site is going to be too hit and miss for you. Make sure your own website has all the key words relevant to your prospective customers so that when they search for inflatable boats or trailers for them, you'll come up at the top of the search.

Good luck!
