Worth knowing

Value Boats; cover, cost and conditions

Value Boats appears in our records with one tidy range, the Value Boot. We have found no reliable source on where the builder is based or how it began, so this page sticks to what the data shows. The boats are rigid inflatables: a solid hull with an air-filled tube running round the deck as buoyancy and fender. The naming is easy to decode. Every model is a Value Boot followed by a three digit number and the letter F, and the number is the length in centimetres, so a 540F is 5.4 metres long.

Our records list eight Value Boot models, seven RIBs and the 600F, which is filed as a motorboat. The 480F starts with build year 2017, the rest with 2018, and all eight are recorded up to the most recent build years. Lengths run from the 3.9 metre 390F to the 7 metre 700F. Three models stay under 5 metres (390F, 430F, 480F), three form the middle between 5.4 and 6 metres (540F, 580F, 600F), and the 680F and 700F close the range at 6.8 and 7 metres. Neighbouring sizes are usually only 40 to 60 centimetres apart.

The smaller boats live on a trailer or serve as tenders, launched from a ramp for a day out and rinsed off at home. From 6.8 metres the boats are more likely to stay on a mooring through the summer. Tubes benefit from shade and a tarp when the boat is idle, and an outboard that has run in salt water deserves a fresh water flush after every trip.
