This is the wide-body Open version of Scorpion's hugely successful 10m, fitted with four sit/stand seats, together with three aft and one forward seats, all sculpted with great bolsters providing safe and comfortable seating for up to eight adults. The helm is ergonomically laid out with a carbon fibre dashboard, full instrumentation, a Mercury Racing steering wheel, and an array of navigation equipment. Good stowage is provided by a large bow locker and walk-in helm locker where a chemical toilet could easily be integrated if required. Moving aft, beneath the stainless steel and GRP radar arch a small sunpad conceals the powered hydraulic engine hatch providing access to the engine compartment, before stepping down to a large moulded bathing platform. Flexiteak flooring, low-level LED lighting, and a built-in stereo system complete the package.

If yellow isn't your preferred colour scheme, the upholstery could be updated very reasonably and we can arrange quotes for this, and tubes either refinished in another colour or renewed.

Located in the engine compartment, twin Volvo Penta D6-435 six-cylinder 435hp turbocharged common rail diesel engines (upgraded from the original Yanmar engines for increased efficiency and performance and new in 2011). Volvo Penta dual lever EVC controls with power trim/tilt and electric start. Hydraulic wheel steering to twin Arneson ASD-18 inline surface drives for ultra-low drag and optimal efficiency.

Mercury Racing K-Plane 24" performance hydraulic trim tabs. 1200L long-range fuel capacity. Electric engine compartment bilge blower. Above waterline thru-transom exhausts.

The engines and all associated systems have been lightly used and well-maintained during their current ownership, last professionally serviced in 2023. In addition, late in the 2021/22 season the port engine had a new longblock and all mechanical systems were professionally inspected, serviced, and overhauled wherever necessary due to the port propeller striking a submerged object.
