1997 Rosborough RF-18

Rare Rossborough RF-18 – Repowered & Ready to Go Up for sale is a Rossborough RF-18, built in Nova Scotia. This model is extremely rare—only about 40 were ever made. It’s a classic, and this one’s in amazing condition. Power & Performance: • Repowered just a couple years ago with a brand new 90HP Mercury—only 150 hours on it. • Full service records from Longshore Boats on Daniel Island at every service interval. • Motor is practically new and runs flawlessly. Electronics & Features: • Brand new Garmin (receipt and box included). • Digital multifunction gauge displays all essential engine data. • New switch panel with fuses for anchor light, running light, cabin light, and bilge pump.

At 19 feet, it handles 4-foot seas with confidence. I’ve taken it offshore to the reefs, and it’s built for big water. Not a speed demon—it tops out at ~22 mph and cruises comfortably at 18–20 in rough conditions. Extras: • Original blueprints from the factory • Both titles in hand, in my name Located on James Island. Considering the condition and new motor, I’m relatively firm on price.
