Dimensions, hull and handling
Thanks to its 2.30-metre beam, the Jumbo 535 Rescue sits firmly on the water. The draft of around 1.00 metre makes it suitable for a variety of cruising areas, while the air draft of approx. 2.20 metres helps when planning routes past bridges and other clearance points. The GRP construction is popular due to relatively low maintenance and a clean look that suits a modern, functional style. According to the information provided, there are no indications of osmosis, and the boat was taken out of the water in 2024, when antifouling was also applied. This makes it ready for a new season, with a solid basis suited to normal inland-water use.
On the water, you’ll experience a boat that invites active boating. The “Rescue†type is known for its practical layout and accessible deck space, which is convenient in practice when setting out rods, moving around on board, and mooring. The steering position is outside, providing a direct feel of wind and water and an open, sporty boating experience.
Mercury 135 hp outboard: power and experience
Mounted on the transom is a Mercury 2-stroke outboard with 135 hp and six cylinders, with electric start. This power gives the Jumbo 535 Rescue a lively character: quick to plane, responsive throttle, and enough reserve to perform comfortably with multiple people on board. For those who like exploring larger lakes or boating on rivers where current and wind play a role, extra power is a welcome feature.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 75 litres, offering a practical range for day trips. The key gauges are on board, including a tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge. This helps you keep an overview of engine load and consumption while underway, contributing to relaxed boating and timely anticipation.
Equipment for sport fishing and recreation
This Jumbo is particularly interesting as a fishing boat. A Humminbird fishfinder is included, helping you locate bottom structures and fish activity more effectively. In addition, a Minn Kota electric motor is fitted with extra batteries—an important plus for anglers: quiet manoeuvring along reed beds, controlled drifting, or holding position accurately without using the outboard.
The basic equipment has also been considered. Fenders and lines are included for mooring, and for safety there is, among other items, a lifebuoy on board. An anchor with chain and line is included, operated with a manual anchor winch—useful for breaks on open water or for holding position while fishing.
Trailer included: Riba BVTC (2008) with registration, braked and twin-axle
A major advantage of this offering is the included road trailer with registration: a 2008 Riba BVTC. The trailer is braked, has two axles and a payload capacity of 2,600 kg, making transport and launching more comfortable. A trailer winch is also present, simplifying loading and unloading on slipways. The description notes that one mudguard has been secured with cable ties; otherwise the trailer is tidy and usable, allowing you to store the boat easily, take it to other cruising areas, or maintain it at home.
Use, character and possibilities
In recent years the boat has been used for day trips on lakes and rivers, with enjoyment on the water as the main goal. That fits the character of the Jumbo 535 Rescue: a no-nonsense motorboat with space, power and equipment that supports both recreational boating and sport fishing. If you are looking for a GRP motorboat with an outboard, fishfinder and electric motor, plus a suitable road trailer, this Jumbo 535 Rescue is an attractive combination for anyone who wants the flexibility to boat in different locations and enjoys getting out on the water actively.
