Chivers Reef Shark 550 RB "ONE OWNER FROM NEW" ** NOW SOLD **

The Chivers 550 REEF SHARK RB (short for runabout) is about mid way up the size range of Chivers' Shark series of water ballasted boats and, together with its centre console and sports fisher variants, probably the most popular.

Being 19-odd feet of runabout it has a lot of cockpit; four or five could fish here without other people's elbows bothering them. It could equally be a family day out sort of boat but, unlike the traditional family boat, its basic design lets it cope with non family-friendly weather.

The weather protection is excellent. The well braced canopy covers an area beyond the seats and has competent clears for days of spray. The Targa carries hand grips at its rear for standing passengers. There are just the two seats in its shelter and they are superb - resilient, adjustable, equipped with bolsters; supremely comfortable.

The ballasting arrangements are totally automatic and barely noticeable. Launch the boat and within seconds the ballast tanks are full delivering the stability of a jetty. They stay full at manoeuvring speeds. Once in unrestricted waters opening the throttle sets the boat planing in the usual way without any noticeable hesitation. Naturally all that stability on demand greatly enhances the Thresher's appeal as a fishing boaT

There is no question about the performance it produces: top speed in the flat conditions nudged 30+ KNOTS
