2006 Mercury Valiant V 620 Sport RIB Dove Grey/Grey 1 Miles Year 2006 Exterior Dove Grey Make Mercury Interior Grey Model Mercury Valiant V 620 Sport Stock 89H506 Hours 42 VIN VALC1589H506 About This Boat Up for your consideration is a very rare 2006 Mercury V 620 Sport Rigid Inflatable Boat. Although this boat does bare the Mercury name plate, they are in fact made by Valiant Marine in Portugal and marketed in the states by Mercury Marine. Valiant is Europe's largest manufacturer of semi-rigid craft and has over 15 years experience in the inflatable boat market. The parent company of both Mercury and Valiant is Brunswick and a world leader in various manufacturing fields. You might be familiar with some of Brunswick's other boat manufactures such as Sea Ray, Hatteras and Boston Whaler. They are one of the few Marine builders in the world to be ISO 9001-2000 certified, making their attention to detail and construction on the highest level in the marine industry. More commonly referred to as RIBs, they are considered to be one of the most versatile boats in the world. While extremely light in weight, they handle some of the toughest seas and will take almost any abuse you might subject it to. You truly get the best of both worlds, a sturdy fiberglass hull, with light inflatable upper construction that is virtually unsinkable while taking the brunt of the heavy seas. The upper portion consists of 7 totally separate inflatable chambers and will keep the boat afloat even if the lower fiberglass hull is significantly damaged. Additionally the lighter weight will allow for more performance with less horsepower(boat itself weighs 1,100lbs), thus lowering operating costs. Lastly, RIBs have more carrying capacity than traditional fiberglass models, in some cases allowing you to double the number of occupants. This particular V 620 has had just 1 previous owner and is in great condition. The boat originated around the San Antonio, Texas region, but I do believe it was used in saltwater in addition to fresh. The lower bilge is in excellent condition with very little sign of saltwater use. Of course from the pictures you can see light spotting on the PVC inflatable portion, I assume from mildew. I see NO signs of abuse, NO signs of tearing, and NO signs of separation on ANY of the seams! I have inspected the entire lower fiberglass and found everything to be in excellent condition, NO gouges and NO beaching. I did notice some light stress cracks on the sides of the upper transom, but nothing cracking or separating. The front portion still has the factory rubber keel guard in place and it does have 2 damaged area, 1 from it resting on the front trailer roller, and another from where it once rested on the front trailer bow stop. I will leave the keel guard in place, or be happy to remove it for its new owner. Cosmetically the guard looks bad, but it will continue to protect the keel. I have not seen any damage under the guard and there is NO damage in the 2 damaged areas. All of the seats are in good condition with NO cracks or burns, only the front starboard bow seating cushion has a rust stain on it. It will come with the bow filler cushions and the factory carrying case(please note the sun damage on the nylon case and the repair of the case). Powered by a 2006 Mercury Marine 150hp Optimax 2 stroke outboard, this boat will move. Even at 3800ft above sea level I was able to run this boat at close to 50mph. Not only will it perform, it will perform effortlessly, planing out in just seconds! I am not certain about fuel consumption, but I would estimate it at 30% fuel savings from the same sized boat in total fiberglass. I did have the local Mercury outboard dealer inspect the engine complete a full diagnostic as well as perform any necessary updates. At only 42 hours, this boat is just now being broke in. It is equipped with a 19-pitch Vengeance stainless steel prop that is in excellent condition. The lower portion of the skeg did require a little black paint, but looks all original with no signs of previous damage. I have had boats in all shapes, sizes, and configurations and was defiantly impressed with the overall build quality of this V 620. The wiring is very notable in that the wire is run to junction boxes and the wire is not only insulated, but they are then grouped together into another insulated jacket. This practice helps to eliminate wiring problems and corrosion due to the intrusion of saltwater. Many smaller builders simply take wires and group them together and place terminals where ever they see fit, this is NOT the case with Valiant, no cheap wiring connectors! It is equipped with 2 batteries, one under the console and one under the seat in front of the console. There are tons of other notable options as well. First off, an extremely nice stainless steel tower with remote spot light. Secondly, a bathing platform with stainless steel ladder. Next, a stainless steel ski mast. Lastly, a freshwater washdown shower with 40 liter tank. This boat was once equipped with full Garmin Navigation and Plotter system. The head unit itself has been removed, but both pucks, transducer, wiring, and complete networking systems remains intact. Due to the rapidly changing GPS market, I will let the owner decide what route to go on any GPS decisions at his or her own expense. This boat is sitting on a 2006 Continental single axle trailer and will be included in the sale. It is galvanized metal and still looks good. The tires are original, and while have good tread, are a little misshaped due to under inflation. Even the smallest vehicle will have no problem towing this boat and trailer. In closing, this boat is a very rare find and has a new replacement cost of over $50,000! You can own this boat for close half price! Please keep silly offers to yourself, I do understand that not everyone is looking for a RIB, but they are very rare and very expensive to replace. Additionally the RIBs have a very large following around the world, just do simple Internet search and you will find forums and blogs from around the globe. I will be happy to assist in shipping, the closest port is in Houston Texas, about 500 miles away. The trailer is 95in at its widest point and 93in with the fenders removed. Shipping inside a container is possible, but it would have to rest on its side. Shipping to the port alone will run $600 and will generally run $1.00 per mile in the US. Overseas shipping will run $3,000-$5,000 depending upon your location. Feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. Darin Benton.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Where do we get our cars? We get our cars from a variety of sources. Our cars are almost always local franchise dealership trade-ins and/or lease returns. We have relationships with dealerships and brokers and buy only the highest quality pre-owned cars. A typical scenario is one in which a dealer obtains a car through a trade-in and that dealer is neither a specialist or is not allowed to sell a particular make of car. They call us, (we are not a local competitor), and we purchase the vehicle from them and make the car available online to a national market. Can I have the car mechanically inspected? It is our absolute mission for you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase. We not only welcome full pre-buy inspection of all its vehicles from any inspection service you desire, we highly recommend it. We also recommend and do offer extended warranties. What can I expect from my purchase? You can expect great service, a great price and an impeccable car. We aim to describe the car as accurate as possible. We do offer only pre-owned vehicles and by definition our vehicles are not brand new. Most of our offerings are equal to first line vehicles sold in reputable franchised dealerships across the country. In fact, many of these dealers buy our inventory only to turn around and sell it at much higher prices. It is important when buying a used vehicle to understand that it is not brand new - it has been driven a certain number of miles. I am out-of-town, how will I get the car? We use a fully bonded and insured transportation service that will deliver the vehicle to your door. The transport usually takes about a 10 days and costs around $750 depending on your location. Vehicle delivery usually takes between 1 and 2 weeks. We also welcome you to come to us, many customers book a flight and we pick them at the airport.
