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.
