congratulations for your videos.. I wanted to know how much the rib cost you without shipping, thanks
gotta love how all the Research and Development was at the hands of americans, for the Chinese to rip off the whole process to sell it for cheaper. We did this to ourselves
Did you purchase the motor with the boat from Alibaba?
Hi, i maid the step to also going to buy one for Belgium diving uses. 😇 Thanks to you
Thanks for the info! Any pricing information?
Keep me updated. I want to buy this for my volvo penta 5.7
Can you send me information on where to order the boat you have? I really like it. I want make sure I get the same model.
Yes no probs. You might as well message Claire Claire directly on Whatzapp then she can send you a quote through AliBaba. Her number is +86 156 9238 0992
Thank you
I am clueless as to how you pick up these deliveries. I've been thinking of buying a caravan from Alibaba but I have no idea how they ship it and how much it would cost, I heard that it would be sent to a port. Did you have to clear customs? Would love to hear more details about buying bigger items from alibaba and how too
With a caravan I would say it would be best to get the shipping agent to arrange delivery, unless it comes with the axle attached so you can tow. The process is actually surprisingly straightforward. Once the ship is approaching port, the shipping agent (not the shipping line) will contact you with collection/delivery options. If you want delivery, this was about £400 for me (I live about 60 miles from the port), or if you want to collect, they have a strict 5-day collection window from landing, which you have to book a slot for. Be brave and good luck!
£2400 boat Approx £2000 extras £1300 arrival fee 20%vat £1140 (on above) Import fee ? Total £6840 (+import and error) So about £7500 at a guess
What was the final price? You didn't mention the final price. After the cost of the boat, accessories, shipping, and arrival fees how much did it ultimately cost?
great Video I am just in touch with Claire Claire :-) looks really nice ... btw. which trailor did you ordered ?
would love some videos of it in the ocean in swell etc
How much did you spend in addition to the price of the boat.
Nice boat How much does it cost ?
this is awesome information. thank you for sharing
this is a long-shot from a buying "process" video
Don't bother asking questions... He doesn't respond
Do you mind providing the total length from the back of the motor to the tow hitch? I want to see if it'll fit inside my garage. thank you.
Yes no problem. 5.2m overall on the trailer. Fits in my standard UK double garage on one side
@@boatman9564 I think I might have a foot to spare, lol. Thanks!
@@cobbs same as me!
But your boat is not inflatable ??? Anyway GREAT boat 🚢.
have a prop shop put a double cup in the prop and it will stop any slipping or cavitation - I bought a 22-footer in mid 80's with two 15-inch motors on a 20-inch transom set wide - it took three trips to the shop to find the correct pitch - the second cup is the same as adding 1 pitch to the prop - you can move a prop back or forward two pitch's without hurting it and it is a lot cheaper than buying new ones - this was with Aluminum but you can do it with Stainless Steel as well -
How did you attach the console? I ordered a similar boat and am assembling now. Mine is aluminum with teak. Console same shape as yours. Any tips appreciated.
Americans need to realize these websites like Alibaba and AliExpress are not scams. I’ve been ordering everything from there for years and sure it takes a little while to get stuff but why spent $12.99 on an olive oil sprayer when I can buy it for .80cent free shipping and wait 2 weeks. Makes no sense. Sales goes for everything else. Bath towels, bedding, phone cases, bike parts, gun accessories, coffee mugs etc.
Amazon is afraid of Alibaba because the prices on Alibaba are very cheap
get the mic closer to you can barely hear what you are talking about
Turn your volume up, I don’t even have full volume because I hear him just fine
Try a different prop, often cavitation problems are prop related.
Love to see some videos of this in action! Thanks.
Subscribed. Keep them coming 💪 buy another one and detail the process explode on YT
Is it just two air compartments in the pontoons (I.e. one left and one right) or are they divided into more compartments?
3 compartments. The bow compartment with a safety valve.
Such a comprehensive breakdown dude, thanks for sharing!
Great review! Any comment on hypalon v. PVC longevity? I've found my PVC 360 cm from the same company a bit thin for fishing and have had to patch it a couple of times in only 6 months.
I’ve got the PVC too so can’t comment on their Hypalon option. I’ve not had any holes yet, but I haven’t used for fishing. I actually have a second new boat on the way from the same manufacturer. A SIB this time, 3.3M. Full review to come…
Awesome, looking forward to your review!@@boatman9564
Love ur videos hope u will post more type of vlogs and adventures. But i wonder so much would u prefer s motor with a long or XL shaft?
I actually think a long shaft would do much better on this boat, and I’ve investigated an extension plate and new driveshaft for my engine but not economical. A 20 inch shaft is ok though, just not perfect.
Well done 👍🏻
What was the total cost of you're boat delivered?
$400 usd

Super fantastic

I remember your excellent initial video, and this is a really useful, honest update. Your boat has indeed proven to be a bargain.
Thank you for your video,I will try to buy one this spring
Could you please post more video with this boat showing how it handles waves...etc...
Will do. My next video will be a summary of our trip around the Isle of Wight in choppy weather.
Many thanks, will try next spring!
Hi, thanks for your helpful videos! I bought more or less the same boat this year and your previous videos helped a lot for my decision to decide for the 480 from Alibaba. We already used it in different condirions in the Adriatic sea. This boat is great value for the money and my experiences are quite the same. Teak floor is fantastic! However I wonder how you prevent water geting into the cockpit via the outflow tubes under the rear seat when there are more than two people on board. Any advices are very much apreciated. Kind regards from Austria
Can you post the name of the producer or a link? thank you
Sure, just added to the description
Glad that you too have had a good experience with these boats. Yes my cockpit floods too when stationary or at very low speeds. I had considered fitting valves to the drain tubes, but as a temporary measure just used bungs in the drain holes in these situations. This temporary solution has become a permanent one now though and is working fine.
Hello Boatman I got your information about the producer in the description,that is Qingdao yacht industry & trade but when I enquired I received a mail from Shadong Rebo boat co ltd is the same producer,organization?,I dont want to be scammed
@massimoneri4669 I’ve dropped the manufacturer a message and they’ve confirmed that they have two outlets on AliBaba and this is one of them. So this is the same manufacturer, the person I dealt with there is called Claire Claire, she’s very helpful.
Love the vids. And such a handsome captain
If you move your winch post forward about a foot or 2 then you could pull your boat all the way on the trailer, your tail heavy on your towing load, this change in dynamics will put more weight if front of your axle
That’s very good to know, thanks. It only has about a foot of movement fwd, I will look at that
@boatman9564 if you look at your bow roller it's not supporting any hull weight
i paid 3500$ + 830$ for accessories, 4 month ago, till now nobody answer me, its scam. Be careful guys..
Any update?
It’s no scam😂 I orders 2 ribs 480b from Alibaba last year and in march I order a 700 rib. Alibaba has the best boat
Did you get your boat yet?
@@WWII25we will never know
How about now?
Mate......what's the craic with the boat you bought from aliexpress? Pretty sure I'm not the only one wondering
New video coming soon covering likes and dislikes after 2 years of ownership
@@boatman9564 noice 👌
nav. lights wrong side
Alibaba got me for $3500.00 two years ago and never refunded me.
When u film from travelling this boat ?
Hallo, welchen gasdämpfer hast du für die hintere Klappe verwendet?, danke 😊👍
Cool video man - I like it, keep the reviews coming. A '1 year of owning an Alibaba boat' would be super cool (pro's/cons and any regrets)
Thanks, that video is on its way!
Who was the manufacturer for this boat? I’ve been looking on alibaba but can’t figure out who to buy from.
I’ve just posted the link in the description, hopefully useful. I’ll be posting another video about ownership after 2 years shortly
@@boatman9564Much appreciated!
Awesome and very informative video. Thanks
