About as good as you can get in that size of boat
they are a bit spartan with virtually nothing in the way of home comforts, but they seem to be as good as they come for handling the sea.(the revivers from consett that is)

i had an old 18ft reiver they are a good stable boat on the drift but were nose heavey on the move with a little bit sea on loads of spray over the front the 15ft boats playned better on the water. i have a shetland alasca 16ft for over 14year now no complants about it has seen some big seas and has handled them no probs.

My first boat twenty years ago was a 15foot reiver. It was a great boat but as previous key mentioned a lot of spray came on board in anything other than flat calm conditions. The main thing I didn't like we're the low gunnels, otherwise she was spot on and really shifted with just a 25 ho engine in the back. I was a few stone lighter at 14 years old though! you would have check the hull over properly as it is likely that she will be getting on a bit now, some of the deck boards had to be replaced on mine.

I use to have a mk1 Reiver 15ft. Solidly built but flat bottomed. Like said, threw a lot of spray up due to the shape of the bow in a small swell, and in a following sea, running down the swell into the back of the next one, the boat would just about stop dead, with all your gear sliding to the bow. Flew on a flat calm sea though.

keep your chin up, and just because someone has PM'd him does not mean its sold it could be still available as the guy who sent him the message is in france so may be he wont wait till he gets home he he he
also go onto the boat owning and maintenance section of wsf and ask on there, when you decide to look people from all over the country will help and you will get sorted,
some dont even get advertised as they sell by word of mouth and on that site you have a very wide audience
not saying anything wrong with nesa but wsf does have a hell of an audience
