Looking For A Small Inflatable Rib With Outboard

[Matthew12]

Hello I'm looking around for a small rib the can pack away in bag and an outboard. We would like to explore river take it on holiday etc. We would get a cabin cruiser but no crow bar and we only have small hatchbacks

Keep an eye on the police auction website, maybe the dinghies towed into Kent by the border control vessels will be put up at some point and there could well be some bargains judging by the quantity shown by the media which will I guess need disposing of. Sad state of affairs but I’d hate to see products of crime going to landfill or being burnt / scrapped.

How about this one is a decent price with a small mariner do you know if this. Would be fine for 2 people on the rivers and northern broads? https://www.gumtree.com/p/boats-kayaks-jet-skis/inflatable-dinghy-rib-2.40m-with-3.3hp-outboard-motor/1380731796

Wouldn’t bother with looking at this unless you’re on the doorstep. ....due to time waster may tell you what you may find out after a wasted journey!

Re the eBay boat again go look see if not too far but the Johnson ob sounds like a classic; in other words it could be very old, look immaculate on the outside... but be soft on the inside!

I recommend the military grade inflatable canoes, friend of mine bought one secondhand and it’s a corker!

Yes it's been barely used according to them

A small point but that is not a RIB. 

RIB stands for Rigid Inflatable Boat. They have a rigid GRP hull. That boat is a plain inflatable. The internal sole (floor) may be semi-rigid ply or grp or a separate honeycomb airdeck.
