Scorpion 8.75m Yamaha Diesel Open Rib

If you are looking for the ideal boat for cruising, off-shore, look no further! I am selling my 2008 diesel Scorpion 8.75m Open “Saffron” Failing health and old age (mine, I hasten to add, not the boats!) force me into parting with this, otherwise, perfect boat, specifically designed for off-shore, long-distance cruising. I know that this is not the ideal time of the year to sell-hence the “deal” type price. It currently resides on a marina pontoon mooring for easy access. The marina has its own slip.

It's salient features are: Engine Single Yamaha ME432 315hp engine with Hydradrive duo-props 450-500 litre fuel tank (at 30knots, 3000rpm gives 30lph-this equates to approx. 1 litre per n mile) and about 450nmiles cruising range Single lever control Less than 400 engine hours Seating for 7/8. Two double pods, one bench seat and one “suicide” seat based on Scorpion's “Pacific” style console Instrumentation. Full Raymarine E120 12” plotter with GPS, AIS and depth sounder. Raymarine RADAR 18” Radome integrated with plotter.

Full Floscan fuel monitoring (tuned to +-2%) ICOM IC-603 VHF also fitted with HM-162 Commandmic and loudspeaker (loudhailer). Twin retractable Glomex Ariels Rev counter, Fuel gauge, Trim/Tilt guage, Oil temparature guage, Plastimo compass, Floscan indicators, Nav lights and switch Bennett trim tabs Hydraulic steering Twin batteries 2x1120AH Safety 3 Whale bilge pumps Fire suppression in engine compartment Bathing Platform, towing eyes Many extras including: It's own SIB with 3.5hp 2-stroke Tohatsu outboard (both as new-having been inflated and the engine started at the beginning of each season) Two Gecko helmets, one half-face, one full-face A Rollercoaster 4-wheel braked trailer with shower attachment An ICOM hand-held with charger Anchor with long chain and rope Various fenders and mooring ropes including 2 x 60 footers for the Caledonian Canal Various Go-Pro mounts at strategic points around the boat Seat and console covers and, separately, an overall cover for dockside protection Offers invited of Circa £40k. Unfortunately my health does not allow me to travel with the boat anywhere, so potential buyers will need to come to Peel, IOM, to try the boat and then to trail it away. Alternatively arrangements can be made to have the boat delivered to your desired location.
