Andy
Not completely sure, I bought it in 1998 from a mate, who believes it's a Colvic Seascout, the top is not original.
It's 18ft at the waterline, 20ft overall plus the outdrive. At the moment it's got a 1966 Volvo AQ110 driving an Enfield outdrive, but I'm about to replace it with a Ford 2 litre ohc Pinto engine.
I'm sticking to petrol for 3 reasons:
1. There'll be no price advantage for diesel from November.
2. Main reason is the Enfield leg will take 130hp petrol but only 75hp diesel, due to the torque.
3. A mate has got a very low mileage Pinto engine that he's letting me have for peanuts.

I've compared it to a Relcraft and the bow is different.  There are more photos on MySite, just follow the link in my signature. |

We were working, testing underwater sensors. The spacehopper race was during a quiet period, waiting for another target.

No, that's us on the small trials launch, lunch time at Studland Nudist Beach, that's Anne and it's a towel round her shoulders.
As you say "Nice work if you can get it".
