Hi there,Thanks for looking at my advert for our Broom Scorpio, we have had this boat for 7 years and had some good fun with her. She will take 4-5 people in comfort.The Tohatsu 20hp motor is a 2 stroke manual start engine, always starts 3rd pull from cold and 1st once warm. It has been upgraded with the 25hp jet as apparently this is the only difference between the 18/20 & 25hp motors. Top speed one up is around 32kmh, & around 23kmh 2 up. The picture of her at speed was 2 up and food/drink for a long day out so she was quite loaded. The trailer is a Snipe galvanised unit, it is old but looks and feels solid. New bearings were put in last year and she has only been dunked twice since then.  She tows well and will sit happily at 55mph.The tonneau cover was bespoke made around 5 years ago, it is in fair condition and keeps the boat extremely water tight. The cushions were re-covered several years ago too.I am not sure on the exact age, all I can say is she will be around 40 years old but is verging on a classic boat now, the curved screen and flared bow is very pretty and also offers good space on-board as she carries her beam well forwards.As with a lot of these boats they are fairly basic but she has a bilge pump, nav lights, clock, led cockpit lighting, glovebox, stereo speakers, 12V horn. The battery is under the rear seat as is the fuel tank. There is storage along the sides and also under the front deck.We are selling as we fancy a change & have an elderly dog that loves the boat but her sea legs are not as good as they used to be so we have bought a Dory so she can sit at the front and let the wind flap her ears. Please call or message for further details, she is lying in a boatyard in Shepperton where the mooring can be taken over if required but you will need to chat to the yard about this. Please, no silly offers, no time wasters. I am not worried about storage as it can go to my parents driveway if required but we bought it from there to local to us to make it easy to be seen. A demo can be given but only once a price has been agreed and substantial deposit paid. Thanks for looking,Craig07903437596
