Back on the water at last
After 4 years away from RIB ownership (due to kids) I’m back on the water in a Scorpion 8.5m that I picked up this week.

Hopefully see some of you around Anglesey this summer ! [emoji1303] Click image for larger version Name: IMG_3618.jpg Views: 369 Size: 119.8 KB ID: 128336

About 46 knots, she’s not particularly fast, but she’s a good family cruiser... not sure on weight
