Thommo. I had a look at it yesterday. Its a plywood hard chine hull about thirteen feet long. Its really well made being constructed from steam bent frames. The ply is then nailed and roved over the frames. It must have been built by a professional shipwright as its too well made to be home built.
The deck needs redoing. The engine looks fresh with chrome details. It has a horrible bodgey plastic windscreen.
All In all a real nice easy project. A bargain.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I know it's not grey motor powered but i thought it may be of interest to some. It is a 350 Chev.

Cheers Paul.
