While trawling boats and outboards in the hope of a £1500 scorp I came accross this:

Seems alot of boat for the money, surely must be a type error, any one want to go in a share I ve got the £995

I'd guess it must be a typo - surely the Etec alone is worth nearly that? £19,995 might be closer?

Probably a price error, it is an older boat with a new engine, but still seems cheap. Maybe he needs the money to keep the RR Sport on the road
