Broker's Comments

This is a nice example of the capable Scorpion 8.1 Rib that has done some big trips in the last 10 years: round the UK, Fleetwood to Guernsey return, Scotland and Ireland.

The trailer was bought 8 years ago and the Shearwater Cabin was fitted by the current owner as he wanted the boat for long range cruising. He also runs a small Avon Sea Rider for rib raids etc. The tubes have just been renewed by Northwest Ribs in July 2024. There are two shock mitigation Scott Seats, a single standard jockey seat and a forward seat built into the cabin.

In the engine video you willl notice that the alternator belts are squealing a bit so the owner has ordered some new ones.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
