Gemini 550RIB with Mercury 115 Optimax outboard

1999 Gemini 5.5m RIB in great condition, came from South Africa but has had many enhancements since then with an upgraded outboard, fuel tank, console, TTop etc. Boat is a great sea boat and handles rough water very well giving a smooth and comfortable ride, with the 115hp 2stroke Optimax there is no lack of performance both speed and fuel consumption. The Optimax engines are as fuel efficient as many 4stroke engine but with more low down torque. Great all rounder for diving, Fishing, and general boating.
