Tropimere Turbo? Cannot remember the full story about them!

one for Graham!

[Matt]

I've partially answered my own question by a bit of googling - which took me to Grahams results in the media site.
Appears to be a Tropimere 37, designed by Don Shead and raced in Class 1 in 1984. Although seems to be the lowest HP of any of the class 1 boats, but was racing at the same time as Double 2 Shirts.

I always thought Miss Isle was a nice name for a boat

[FLYING FISH]

Got the answer then Matt.Tropimere did some pleasure boats based on this hull.Very revengerish.

[Jon Fuller]

I think they did an open fisher type boat based on the hull, but thought there was only one of those, and one race boat. Is that not correct?

Clive Baker owned Miss Isle at one point.
