Keep in mind that rib is 30 years oldie, fabric could be in mint condition no matter if rib has been kept inside a garage, glue in seams do not last that long, probably in dryness process, might need future tube re gluing, how old is the engine ? are parts still available ? If you want a new nice combo as showned, being Avon and hypalon made with completely confortable rigged deck with wheel drive and motor controls, trailer included, definitely we are talking at least 18 to 20 grand. Avon's are expensive water toys. What amount does owner wants for complete combo ?

Happy Boating

$1300-$1400 on a good day. More like a grand on an average day.

Interesting layout. Haven't seen a RIB set up like that before. Is the bow cover, console, windscreen original or is it something that was an after thought.

Might want to try that on my Zodiac.

in my neighbourhood, if in really nice condition that would fetch $2000 to $3000 (even more if seller is showing it water tested)

Those old 4 cylinder blue stripe 50's drink gas like 115... my main concern would be room for at least 20 gallons of fuel if you want any range at all

I guess local economy is a factor - that's a $500 trailer around here

As far as age- my 1985 3.4m Avon Rover has needed a couple of seam rewelds.... but overall, the hypalon is all original and has many years left in it.. if kept out of the sun, it lasts....
leave that boat in the sun for a few years 24/7 it'll be less reliable... a good cover can extend the life.

Avon offered a complete list of inflatables accesories not found in other inflatable Companies, that oldie is a true example, Will have my doubts if still producing now a days all the nice accesories showned being Avon a Zodiac brand Company.

1400 Thats funny, I could part the thing out for more then that. that motor around here would go for a $1000 alone This has always been garaged very low hours not even a scratch on the floor nor the seats Its completly set up the way Avon built it, I was thinking it would be coool if that front cover unzipped to make it a open bow. no add ons It holds air fine, I think its worth $3000 all day. . I appreciate the input, going to sell for $3000 so what happens, Might keep it for summer ..who knows here in Oregon we only get 3 months a year for boating
