I thought it was a shakespere, but the front does'nt seem to be bulbous or ugly enough!

Looks a bit like this Simms except for the wind screen:

Matt, I shall consider myself reprimanded.

However, if you read the posts, i think it is apparent that i am fooling around and my comments are not supposed to be taken seriously. If i can be of any help to the young lad i would be more than willing.

Bowing to the more superior.:D

No-No I must insist it is a pile of shit.

Just look at what I was faced with when I looked inside.

But after a lot of sweat he got the layers of paint off.

And with a lot of help from dad and dads wallet. The inside is starting to come together.

Trust me - to a 15 year old school boy this is in the same league as a wet dream.

Have any of you noticed the abcense of an engine?

Now whos he going to turn to for that?????????

If its 16ft it really needs a 40HP minimum to get any decent performance. This looks like a bit of a bargin except it looks like the picture was taken with a falcon camera! Dad would have to put his hand in his pocket though!

Shame...I sold a really quite lovely 50hp Yamaha elec start in the summer....about 15 years old.....went for 350 squids!

Surely an ex RNLI mariner 40 has to be a winner??

Bob Horwood ain't in great shape either. Amazing what we do for the love of our sport.

Damn it, my shoulder hurts but at least I'm getting used to the sparkling lights.
