BROOM SCORPIO?

Post by Michaelrichards »

Hi.
I have recently purchased a fibreglass broom boat. From reading on the Internet I have came to to assumption it is a Scorpio. It is in good condition apart from a few scratches here and there. It has had some modifications to create a sealed cuddy and made into a fishing boat, which is what I will be using it for (fresh water)

I have attached a photo below. The picture is before I bought it and I have done a lot of cleaning up work to it since.

I was just really wanting to know if anyone could confirm that this is a broom Scorpio and if any1 could give me an idea of the year?
All responses will be most appreciated.

Thanks

Michael

Also I forgot to say, the boat is 15ft long.

Thanks

If its 15' then its a Scorpio with what looks like half the sliding canopy that some had being used to make the cuddy.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
