What makes this Bombard DB500 attractive as a RIB boat? It is appealing because it combines practical dimensions with a powerful Yamaha outboard motor. The hull is made of fiberglass, and there are no reported signs of osmosis. According to reports, the boat is in reasonable condition, making it interesting for buyers looking for an affordable RIB who don’t mind putting some attention into cosmetics and finishing touches here and there. As a pleasure craft for a day of boating fun, the DB500 is a well-known concept: fast, direct, and easy to use. How does it perform with the Yamaha 60 hp outboard motor? It is equipped with a Yamaha 60FETO outboard motor (year of manufacture 2001) with 60 hp and three cylinders. The motor starts electrically and is reported to be operational. With 528 running hours logged, there has been some experience gained, and the motor has received maintenance this season. The cruising speed is listed as 60 km/h, with a maximum speed also at 60 km/h. This indicates a quick setup that focuses primarily on sporty boating and getting from place to place swiftly. On board are instruments such as a tachometer, temperature gauge, and fuel tank gauge, which are useful for keeping track during longer trips. The fuel tank has a capacity of 50 liters. What navigation and electronics are included? It comes equipped with a basic package of navigation and fishing support: GPS, compass, depth sounder, and fishfinder. This makes the boat suitable for those who enjoy exploring new waterways or regularly fishing while using depth information. The electrical system is 12V with one battery present that has a total capacity of 80 Ah, suitable for starting functions and electronics. Are there any considerations buyers should keep in mind? Yes, there are some points to take into account in your decision-making process. The tubes slowly lose air over time, and in some areas sections of the tubes are coming loose; however, they reportedly still hold air. This is something you always want to assess carefully when considering a RIB: check the condition of the seams, valves, and material of the floats while being prepared for possible repairs. Furthermore, the overall condition is described as reasonable. This means it’s particularly interesting for someone who wants to buy a Bombard DB500 with room to refresh it step by step according to their preferences. What about trailering and transport? The sale includes an unregistered road trailer: a Weijer 613xkl. The trailer is tilt-able, unbraked, has one axle, and can carry up to 750 kg. With its own weight of approximately 500 kg and dimensions of 600 x 250 cm, it fits well with the size of the boat. A trailer winch is also included along with trailer lighting. The condition of the trailer is reasonable; therefore, it would be wise for buyers to check tires, bearings, and lighting upon delivery before extensive use. The owner indicates that the boat has always been taken out of the water after use and was last serviced in 2026 when it was removed from the water for maintenance. Documentation available includes proof of registration. This provides you with a complete foundation to quickly get on the water with this Bombard RIB while enjoying the freedom of a trailerable console boat ready for new boating moments.
