Call me Mr Fussy but 1/4 of a million quid sounds alot for a 7.5m RIB.

Just a question not with a view to buying. (Im stuggleing to by my basic kit at the monment) but for others. Have you put to many 0's or is 1/4 of a:confused: million pounds the going rate for this sort of kit? all the best selling it. Dave
EDIT... we must have been typing at the same time diddnt mean to copy woz!!

Possibly, but it has ben given the benefit of the doubt. It might be usefull to a very rich club :D

[Fred Simon]

:D
Sorry guys, 24 500 GBP is the correct price.
Adrian, since the dive centre is no longer existing or registered as a company, the boat is now mine and the monthly payments to the bank do come straight from my own bank account:( , so it is fair to say that its not a commercial ad.
ps: there are no drugs left in the hull, I've had them all, since then I see a lot of zeros at the end of each number;)

It sounds like a very nice boat, sadly still a bit out of our league. Good luck selling it Fred.

Hi Fred

Have you tried advertising in;
www.findafishingboat.co.uk they have a charter dive boat section.
also www.apolloduck.com

As a point of intrest which pat of Mallorca were you based ?
Good luck (with the rehab)
Chris:)

[Keith Lawrence]

We did look at it Fred, but under the very unfortunate circumstances we deemed it not to be commercial, it was diving related, it could be of benefit to a club or another dive operator looking for a RIB. I've edited the price on your main advert for you as well :)

Top place to advertise. We got loads of interest selling our old squidgy.

Free advertising, will also let you upload photos. I think they also reproduce them in a paper mag as well!

[Fred Simon]

Thanks Keith for editing the price on my first post. Really nice of you.
Thanks Chris for the adresses, the boat is already on apolloduck.com but not onthe other one.
We where based in South West mallorca Port Adriano, El Toro.
Fred :)

[Chris aka divingchef]

Ahh I know the Toro well, I was brought up in Mallorca 60s 70s I lived a while in Cala Viñas used to snorkrel all around that coast as far as Santa Ponsa, that was before there was any development other than the big gun placements on the ismus.

Great place for diving !
Best wishes for the future
Chris:)

[Fred Simon]

No more guns now but a lot of ugly buidings. The undewaterworld though is still nice. Hope to see you here some day.:)

[Fred Simon]
