“The RIB” – China brand
I ordered this one on Alibaba and imported it to Hong Kong from China. I bought a second hand 4hp Yama-hammer 2 stroke. This cost around HKD7000 to get petrol tank, outboard, delivery to my office.
This sparked a boating frenzy with 4-5 other boats appearing on the same beach over the coming year.
We had a really good time on this one, with stories like driving 6 people across the power station bay in an Amber rainstorm at 11pm.
The Lady Wray – Yamaha SRV-20
Overpowered 85HP 2-stroke Yamaha SRV-20. This was a LOT of fun. I bought this one on facebook marketplace for around HKD60,000. It didn’t end well being sold for HKD500 to local fishermen in perfect condition. More on that yarn later.
