Great RIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) at a Great Price $11,995

Fantastic combination of a great quality pre-owned boat in fabulous shape.  We rate it an overall 8/10 Novurania is one of the best brand name RIBs.  In the same league as  Nautica, AB and Caribe but Novurania is the standard luxury yacht tender on large boats (where there is no price sensitivity).   It has the best rub rails of them all. It’s also the most expensive to purchase new (although Nautica
can rival them on that front). A 15ft new Novurania centre console such as this one is well over $35K new!
Tubes: Excellent condition. No fading, no wear, clean rub strakes.
Looks new at 10 feet. Could pass as a 2006-2008. Pressure tested, back
end cones re-inforced professionally (by a hypalon tube maker and professional).
Hull: Excellent condition.  No scrapes.  Solid, clean, unpainted.
Keel Guard an option if you want to beach. Best to anchor with an anchor buddy (available option).

• Motor:  Excellent condition.  Very reliable and simple engine. Yamaha
  quality. 70HP is the best size for this boat (weight/power) although
  this boat can go up to 90HP! (in case you ever want to repower if you
  need to load up the boat to it’s 2400lbs cargo capacity!  Motor could
  pass as a 2006-2008.
• Seats: Not too bad but one area the boat shows that it’s used.  Easily
  to get them recovered cost-effectively. That’s not a big thing although for resale value, it’s best to have  newer looking seats to match the rest of the boat.
• OPTIONAL Add-on Trailer: Optional 2011 Roadrunner galvanized trailer with step on fenders, just out of the factory. Bearing buddies, heavy duty strap winch. This trailer will also last a long time (if you rinse after salt water). Also available with a wider trailer (for easier step on)

More Information

This is a light but very powerful, stable and fast RIB.  Great flotation and lightweight translates to up to 50% fuel consumption on the water or while towing on the road.  That’s significant if gas prices are an issue for you. This is why RIBs have been popular in Europe for years.

The 2003 Yamaha 70HP direct oil injection is the perfect size for this boat in power and weight.

Cargo with of 2400 lbs, that is over one ton!  You can’t do that on any other 16’ boat! Capacity of 8 passenger capacity. This boat can take any seas!   Virtually unsinkable with the multichamber tubes.

Tubes are in perfect condition. Recently serviced: Pressure tested, valves checked. Motor is in perfect working condition with very low hours.  It looks almost new!

This boat has been kept indoors and is a Pacific Northwest boat.
Please don't compare with Florida or other southern boats that get damage by UV sun because of extended exposure.  We would rate this as a 9/10 or a 2006-2008 equivalent because of it's very clean condition.

We also don’t compare this boat with no-name imports from China or Asia.  It’s like comparing a BMW to a non-name Chinese car.  They are both “cars” but certainly not in the same league!  Plenty of no-name RIBs out there, the selection of quality brand name RIBs at an affordable price is more limited.
