Valiant Vanguard 520 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Valiant Vanguard 520 (2011) with Mercury 75 hp and road trailer – sporty RIB for lakes and inland waters. The Valiant Vanguard 520 from 2011 is a versatile RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) targeting buyers looking for a sporty, practical, and easy-to-handle rigid-hulled inflatable boat. With a length of 5.20 meters and a width of 2.00 meters, this model offers a pleasant balance between onboard space and maneuverability. Thanks to the polyester V-shaped hull, the boat sits stably in the water and feels responsive and controllable while sailing, making it suitable for both leisurely cruises and more active use on inland waters and lakes. This Valiant has been used in the past as a holiday boat and for day trips, focusing on sailing pleasure and sporty navigation. This character aligns well with the concept of a 5.20-meter RIB: quick to launch, fast to speed up, and easy to trailer again. The approximate headroom of 1.50 meters also makes it interesting for areas with bridges and lower passages, while the draft of about 1.00 meter helps navigate shallower zones. Valiant Vanguard 520 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Hull, handling, and usage possibilities. The polyester V-shaped hull is designed to cut through waves and remain on course, which can be a noticeable advantage especially on open lakes and in windier conditions. A RIB like this is known for its combination of cushioning and stability: the rigid hull provides solid handling, while the tubes contribute to buoyancy and a secure feeling when boarding and maneuvering. Steering is done via a wheel on a console, providing an active, clear steering position and facilitating docking and turning in tight spaces. For those seeking a boat for water sports, fast trips, or just a dynamic day on the water, the Vanguard 520 is a logical size. It is large enough to comfortably accommodate multiple people but compact enough to trailer and store without much hassle. This type of RIB is also attractive as a tender, a recreational boat for a holiday destination, or a sporty family boat for weekend use. Mercury OptiMax 75 hp: performance and experience. At the back hangs a Mercury OptiMax outboard motor with 75 hp, electric start. The motor is operational and reportedly has 152 running hours, providing insight into its usage. With a 50-liter gasoline tank, there is a practical range possible for day trips, depending on speed and conditions. Onboard instruments include a tachometer and temperature gauge, aiding in monitoring motor load and operating temperature while sailing. The reported cruising speed and top speed are around 55 km/h, making this a swift RIB in its class. This translates into a lively sailing experience: quick planing, immediate response to steering input, and enough power for sporty navigation. This setup suits those who enjoy picking up speed on lakes or larger inland waters but can also cruise leisurely when preferred. Deck equipment and practical details. The boat is equipped with a deck cover, fenders, and lines, and a set of life jackets is also included. An anchor is present, secured with a line. This basic equipment aligns well with the intended use: day trips, beach stops, or leisurely anchoring during a break. The boat was last out of the water for maintenance in 2025. No osmosis has been reported, but maintenance is needed for the motor and tubes. For a buyer, this presents an opportunity to refresh the boat to their own standards and preferences, such as focusing on preventive motor maintenance and checking the tubes to ensure the RIB is optimally suited for intensive recreational use. Includes Freewheel tilting trailer with license plate. An important advantage is that this Valiant Vanguard 520 is offered including a road trailer with a license plate. It is a Freewheel tilting trailer (built in 2005), braked, with one axle, ten rollers, and a trailer winch. The load capacity is stated as 1700 kg. A tilting trailer makes launching and retrieving easier, especially on slopes where you want to work quickly and controlled. For buyers seeking flexibility—sailing to different locations, winter storage at home, or spontaneously visiting another lake—a complete boat-trailer combination makes a difference. Overall, this Valiant Vanguard 520 is an attractive option for those seeking a sporty RIB with a Mercury 75 hp engine, suitable for inland waters and lakes, with practical equipment and the convenience of an included trailer. This combination offers many possibilities for recreation, water sports, and holiday trips, with room to further optimize the boat to personal preferences.
