Hi
Would any one know the combined weight of a 2006 Avon centre consoled 3.10 with Mercury 30hp engine attached.Have looked on Internet but with out adobe on I pad can't find it.
Thanks
 
Are you bidding on it too, eBay it looks very nice but 30hp too big for most davits. I'd say the whole rig will be over 100kg, the merc 30 must be 45kg easy.
 
Yes, if not too much. New davits going on shortly which are rated to 145kgs so should be ok,present davits are rated to 100kg. Have a max in mind and that will be it.

Merc 30hp 2 stroke is 50 kgs, 4 stroke probably about 80 kgs. RIB will be about 60 kgs, and console another 15. With cables you're probably looking at 130 kgs dry for a 2 stroke, 160 for a 4 stroke.

I'm all for overpowering RIBS, but that's double the reccomended max, so i'd take it easy until you see how flighty it is.
 
Tower, that rib was on buy it now eBay 2 weeks go for sale in Poole at £2695 , then the now lister had on a £1000 more, trying to make a fast buck, I pulled out way back as it's more money now than you can buy an Avon jet rib for.

You will be ok with the davits but a 145kg rating they must be attached to a big boat and more to the point correctly , I've seen so many boats with cracks around areas where davits have started to move the structure around the base bolts.
 
I was interested when it £2010.00' that's when I posted question as thought it would be ok at just over 2 K but then while posting question etc it went up to £2650.00 that's
When I lost interest . Iam a Yorkshireman and only like a bargain. End price was £2700.00 thanks any way for the advice gents.
