Thanks for the comments fella's. Andy, yes that is the tank at the back. Squidlips, they were originally designed and built by Rod Baker (whose used to build the offshore 105's) who then sold the mould, I believe, to a couple of guys in Portsmouth (Victory Marine) and the mould is now owned by the same guy who builds the Duver 23's. Ive hunted high and low for his number because I told Andy (Squidhead) I'd dig it out for him but cant find it anywhere.
Davephilips, I'll have to keep an eye out for you. Where do you keep yours? Yeah it goes ok, runs best at about 16 knots.
If anyone is interested, I'll probably be putting mine up for sale soon due to the fact I need something thats going to double up as a fisher/weekender to keep the missus happy! A few quick details: 23' long, 9'6" beam, built 2004, engine has only done 50 hours, comes with all the usual bits i.e Raymarine combined colour plotter/radar, Raymarine Fishfinder & Raymarine DSC VHF. Have more details and photos if needed.

Great, substantial looking boat Mike, I thought it beared an un-canny likeness to the Duver. Lovely!

Think these are the details you are looking for: Victory Marine Ltd Mr D Benneworth 28b Priory Crescent, Southsea, Hampshire PO4 8RN Tel: 02392 820664 Fax: 02392 820664 Victory Marine Limited produce the Commander 23 semi-displacement GRP fishing vessel. Fitted with a 150hp diesel, the Commander 23 will cruise at 18-20 knots and is suitable for use by fishermen, divers, police and the military. Only the best materials are used for a rugged, long lasting finish. Hope this helps Dave  |

Victory marine stopped making the Commander a good few years ago now, think they wrapped up and the mould got sold on.

I bought the Duver 23 and the Seamark 26 moulds. I am currently looking for a new location to build the boats for production. Send me a reply if you are interested. Scott
