A real rare find in this condition my beloved EX RNLI D CLASS LIFEBOAT (Avon EA16) with Mariner 40HP with Inversion mods from RNLI. She is in fantastic condition for her age these boats cost over £33000 new and are built to military spec and made to thrive in the harshest conditions, she is made from hypalon fabric and reinforced all over with 7 air chambers so if you did get a puncher only a small section of the boat would deflate. taking her out in the surf just gives you the best rush such good fun out for all the family. She comes with the fuel bladders seen in the photos these are so hard to get hold of as the RNLI makes them for their boats only and does not sell them we have 2 one either side each holds 30 litres of fuel. Also included is the thick black rubber and foam mattress essential in poor weather as she slams down off a wave the mattress takes a lot of the load off you knees. I have put a new set of oars on her (See photos) along with a brand new anchor, chain and rope. New throw bag for anybody who fell overboard along with some new lines, fire extinguisher & knife all included in the sale. She does come with a trailer this is a homemade trailer our friend made for us it does the job perfectly we just greased all the bearings this week. The engine is an EX RNLI Mariner 40 HP with the inversion mods the RNLI put on. She has just had new spark plugs the carbs cleaned out and new gearbox oil. The engine is on the old side with some scratches and makes on the hood but runs fine can be seen running. its 2 stroke and you mix the oil in with the fuel we have just put new fuel lines on her. It really is a fantastic package and a chance to own a piece of history!! its easy to go out a buy a new Chinese made inflatable made from PVC all nice and shiny but the quality is not there this may be on the old side but nothing is made like this anymore the quality down to the smallest component is just the best you can get.
