I.D and potential value??

[ST840]

A friends father in law past away recently and left this boat. It's a Broom, but does anybody have a clue what model it is and what the potential resale value may be?
Apparently even though it was never used the owner had the engine services regularly, it's a 50hp Mariner, possibly 2 stroke?
The boat has never been on a mooring, spent its life on a trailer. It naturally needs a clean and some new window rubbers, but generally I'd say it was in fine condition for its age!

Its a Broom Scorpio, worth maybe £5K as they are considered a bit of classic now.

It is only ever worth what someone is prepared to pay like anything is.

I bet that was sold mid pandemic. Add another 10K on the price and let them beat you down.

Regretfully you may need to consider how heavy it is, From the photo of the trailer it does not appear to have brakes.
In the UK you are not allowed to tow anything over 750 kilo wit an unbraked trailer.
I had a 14ft Bayliner on an American unbrajed trailer it had a 25hp outboard and when I took it to a waeighbridge it was only 20 kilo below the 750 kilo weight limit.
(I used to run transport and was on weighbridges every day which is why I wanted to know what it weighed.
Wit this boat, should you want to sell it I would put on the advert that anyone buying it should satisfy themselves that the trailer is suitable for the weight of the boat.
And try and check how old the tyres are, I recently bought a 1997 boat on a trailer and the tyres were the original ones, I believe that for road use people are expected to replace tyres at around 8 years old.
(other people may contradict this)
Good Luck.

Brochure weight of bare boat is circa 250kg. Trailer maybe 200kg. Engine approx 80kg. Batteries, fuel, ropes, fenders, anchor probably add maybe 150kg. I think it should be ok.

Thanks all for the advice. This is not my boat but that of a friends, so I will pass on the info.

At the moment I would try £6,500 on Facebook market as it is indeed a bit of a classic. That will be under 750 kg I would think

Have you made any attempt to answer the question the OP asked

TBF the question has already been answered. Trailering weight advice was gladly accepted, as I'm sure my friend has never trailered a boat before. ??
