- Follow my journey of buying a boat on Alibaba.
A link to the boat I bought (and they are now using my actual boat as their stock image!) here;

I'm just working on the third instalment now where I'll cover which supplier I used, and the ordering process. I'll have this up in the next couple of weeks.
Interested!!
Is the third video up yet?
When I look at nice things like this on AliBaba I see something in the app that says that I can’t receive the item at my address. Does that mean I can have it delivered to the nearest port? Can you make a code about what it was like selecting the supplier, how ling it took & what other costs you had to pay other than the posted amount?
Hi any updates on the 3rd installment
you have a lot of people waiting for your 3rd video!
Perfect timing and thanks for posting... I've been looking at boats on alibaba myself for the last 3-months, so really looking forward to the follow-up videos. Glad I found this!
This is a fascinating series lol. Keep it up and looking forward to part 3. Currently in Thailand, and looking at some of the Alibaba boats relative to their Zodiac/Highfield...I'd potentially save 90%!
Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks for posting this! I have bought 3 from Ali Baba all were great.
Great! Glad to hear I’m not alone in having great success with it.
which 3 did you get?
What Is the general cost of one? For something like this? Came across a center console, wondering if it’s worth having it shipped to the US.
Eagerly awaiting next video to get the info :)
Video is helpful regardless of volume! Thank you
you've got the navigation lights wrong
port side should be red and starboard side green
Great vid
Hi good video. I love the boat. I will subscribe and go watch part 1.
A 60 will give about 34 to 36 knots. My 545 with a 90 on still does same and a little slower with 4 up and bags. U got to go big to get faster than that. The ilb lifeboat does 44 with twin motors. If u fell off at 34 kts you would bounce on the water. On rougher days it seems much faster. Lovin the vid as I’ve always wondered about Ali boats. Nice job on that engine 👍👍👍👍
Thanks that's really good to know!
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
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!
Very cool, but that RIB is basically a real boat!! Thought is was more of an inflatable, but yours has all of the bells and whistles.
Great series - keep the videos coming! Quick question how big is your garage? - Im wondering if a 4.8m boat would fit in my 5.2m garage with the trailer and outboard
Normally our boat factory add extra valve on the water drain pipe, close it when driving, so that the water would not come back into deck. Open the valve when need to drain the water out of deck.
Nice boat! Interested to have it shipped to the US
Nice boat. I am surprised it is only recommended 50HP. I would have thought a lot more, given the weight and strength of the boat.
What would you have gotten?
I’ve had several Inflateable Style Hull boats and I’ve found that using the Manufacturers reccomendated Engines are usually the best thing to use as far as Power and Shaft FYI that Spec takes into consideration the weight of that size engine and how it affects the Vessels Planing ability you are Partially Correct on the Materials they use the largest disadvantage to PVC is that the Ultra Violet Rays from the Sun really does alot of Damage fast compared to what you paid for although one Advantage ito PVC is it’s easy to repair or re glue seams as a DIYer storing any of theInflateable boats is IMO always best to do so indoors if you have the Ability ! one other Conclusion i have come up with is that either Material will wear out over time and when that time comes it’s best to replace the boat instead of paying a Professional to reseal the Tubes or other Parts because no matter what they tell you or Warranty it will leak Air to some degree FYI i’ve had 5 Zodiacs (PVC ,2 Saturns( (Hypalon) and with Proper Care and Use you basically get 8 to 10 years of Service untill they need replacing I call it the Cost Of Doing Business t nothing lasts for ever yes i’ve tried UV Protectorand different ways of Maintenace , different Brands and Products but just from normal wear and tear and Use the Materials from being under Pressure wind up wearing out ! my other Comment to freinds about Boat Ownership is that they are horrible Investments for your Money but great Investments for good times and lots Of Fun
Understood about your OM recs for shaft length, but his experience sounds like it’s the wrong recs. Says an extra long shaft might have been better. Thoughts?
Take the lights off and put them on a board salt water in those will kill them quick. Tie it to the bars. Number plate ok on flat but will get ripped off if u get a kinky launch ramp.
Thank you for sharing your boat journey. You have bought a nice boat. Not sure if you are aware and I may be wrong, but it looks like your red and green navigation lights are incorrectly mounted. Your type of lights are designed for mounting on a horizontal surface, not vertical; they should cover a horizontal angle of 112.5 degrees each (red and green) and then matched with an all-round white light, at least 1 meter above the nav lights (strictly speaking). All the best.
You are correct! A project for when I get some time
@@boatman9564 Thank you for the reply. Thought I’d point it out, just in case. A lovely boat, excited to see more of it, especially in use. Have a great day.
Seems pretty decent quality.
Is part 3 ready yet ?
Would love to know what supplier you used and how much shipping was. Looks ok, if the money is right.
Edit, just saw the end of the video, nevermind!
Change the prop to a stainless steel one and it will go better.
Hallo, welchen gasdämpfer hast du für die hintere Klappe verwendet?, danke 😊👍
How much did you buy it for ? Looks nice !
👍👏
When you say PVC do you mean Polyurethane?
So does it just come with the title for the boat and trailer?

I used Qingdao Yacht Industry & Trade Co. Ltd. cnyacht.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.27b076e9dirc4f&tracelog=from_orderlist_company
@@novizadventures hello, if you need a rib boat , contatc with me please
It very look low cost effectively!!!
yes， my friend。 Very good price and quality
ποσο κοστισε η μεταφορα και ποσο κοστισε το τελωνειο ;
nav. lights wrong side
Hello Mate, May I ask what the brand and model is of your rib ?
It’s marketed at RIB 480, a 4.8m rib which is manufactured by REBO Boats, China.
Looks like your nav lights are on the wrong sides at the end of the video.
Well spotted! I'll get them swapped over.
What brand/alibaba supplier did you chose ?
contact with me please if you need a supplier
Hi mate, would you mind contacting me about this, I’m about to send my money through alibaba to the same company you used. But just got couple questions before I send my money. Did the shipment fee change when the boat was ready?
Sure. Just drop me an email on okiscanner1@gmail.com and I'll send you my number
@@boatman9564 cheers mate, sent you email
Sorry, try okiscanner1@gmail.com
@@boatman9564 done mate
What seller did you use? And when is the next video part coming?
I used Qingdao Yacht Industry & Trade Co. Ltd.
@@boatman9564 thanks, i actually talked to them and they sent me your video. Was there any additional shipping costs to get it into the country? They said I didn’t need insurance on the shipping, but I suspect that can be a hidden cost. Was there any surprises?
hi, if you still need a rib, please contact with me, thank you.
Hi there! I’m super interested in this! Are you still working on the third installment? I really want to get all of this information as I would like to do what you’ve done. I think it’s brilliant actually. I’m curious to know which seller you used, and the customization process, etc. Thank you!!
Yes sorry for the delay. Part 3 will be up very shortly!
@@boatman9564 thank you! Looking forward to it!
@@boatman9564 hey, when are you going to make a review? do you have any problems? any stress cracks? and transom cracks?
@@siedracul mathew, how long have you had them? which models?
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
Poor video - most of the beginning the volume is too low; therefore, the whole setup of the video is lost.
