For Sale: Avon Hypalon 10' RIB Dinghy With Sunbrella Cover

[foggysail]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

I am almost tempted to send you a check and then later worry about how I get it back to Massachusetts!!!!!!

But my older Avon is still going strong. Whomever purchases this is GETTING A DEAL! OK, now I have to get back to my desk at the used car lot.

Seriously, if that dink is as you say, that is a steal. My buddy is now into his 3rd dinghy in the last 20 years. He finally purchased a small hypalon from Defender last year for $2000 and IT IS SMALL.

Hey SilverP40--- I am really not trying to help you sell the boat, I just want to share my experience with somebody who wants to purchase the boat. If I was there I would purchase it myself and give it to my grandson.

Thanks a bunch foggysail for the plug...We always thought it is a great dinghy, only used it for about 4 months so what do we really know...

The only reason it is on sale is that I cannot fold it and put it down below...Have to carry it on the foredeck and it really gets in the way of sailhandling!

Cheers

SilverP----

I saw your dinghy last on Ebay where it lasted about a day! Sure, I own one identical to the one you sold. BUT I AM KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT PURCHASING YOURS when it was available and selling mine for twice the purchase price I would have paid for yours.

The only differences between the two is mine has 25+ years of use on it......AND STILL GOING STRONG and yours was in NEW CONDITION! I see Waterbrit's post begging to purchase it for $1700 and back then neither you or I could get anybody interested in what was a super, super deal! Funny how things work out.

Yes foggy, I probably should have waited but did not have a place to store it. Person who bought it has a great deal there, so I hope he uses it lots!
