Overview
About this vessel
The Natural is truly a one of a kind with her established pedigree and her meticulous upgrades. This is a very unique opportunity to own a well built and engineered classic vessel with an immense amount of modern technology through her updates. The combination of Natural's V-8 Common Rail's, performance, great head sea ride complete with sleeping accommodations for 5 make for a very desirable Sportfishing platform. Throw in the recent install of SeaKeeper NG9 and you have a game changing tournament competitor.
The Natural represents a classic example of Ricky Scarborough's legendary custom cold-molded wood builds. It is renowned for its aggressive entry, signature Carolina flare, and exceptional head-sea performance. While maintaining its classic, soft ride, the vessel has undergone extensive refits to integrate modern tournament-grade technology and amenities.
The vessel was upgraded to twin 900 HP MAN V8 Common Rail diesel engines, significantly boosting performance and efficiency. A Seakeeper NG9 gyro stabilizer was installed, completely transforming its comfort at sea and tournament fishability. The helm was redesigned featuring a modern electronics suite with triple Garmin GPSMAP 8215 displays, Omni Sonar, professional sonar modules, open-array radar, and a FLIR thermal camera. New exhaust risers and a Blue Water Desalination water maker were also added. The vessel was refreshed with new interior carpeting and wallpaper, mechanically upgraded with a new 21.5KW Cummins Onan generator, a rebuilt Eskimo ice chipper, and refrigerated lower mezzanine boxes.
Engineered for high-stakes offshore campaigns, the Natural has established a stellar reputation as a fierce, consistent competitor on the major East Coast and Mid-Atlantic billfish circuits. In the 2021 Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, it secured a historic podium finish by taking 2nd Place Overall in the Blue Marlin Division against a massive fleet after landing a 521.6-pound blue marlin. At the Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament, it proved its dominance against the toughest custom sportfish teams on the Outer Banks, finishing on the leaderboard as the 4th Place Overall Boat after successfully releasing four billfish. The Natural is a recurring, highly respected participant in the Virginia Beach Billfish Tournament (VBBT), consistently showcasing the elite fishability and capability of the Scarborough build pedigree.
