I think its a Shetland?? Could be wrong

I thought it looked like a shetland aswell, but cant seem to find another one that looks like it with the single front window.

Looks like a F.A.M.E. "Domino".
16'6 x 6'6, 590Pounds, 50hp max.

Many thanks olli!!!!

Thats is exactly what it is, Cheers!!

You have wrote 50hp max,, which is a bit of a bugger as he has an old 60hp Mariner outboard here that he was hopeing to put on it.

Would the extra 10hp make much of a difference?

OK after a lot of digging Ive found out that Picton took over from F.A.M.E in making these boats so its now a Picton Domino which brings up a bit more when doing a google search, but I still cant seem to find any specifications on the boat.

Its pretty flat bottomd, will it be sea worthy?

I have one off these, it had a mercuary 60 already on it and was originally owned by our marina. I am currently in the process off fitting a Suzuki Df60 on it and refitting the inside. It has always been sea going as we are a coastal marina.
I also cant find much info on the boat. Only found this post by trying to search it..

Originally made in Cornwall I think

Had one in the late 70s, light, went well with a 50, skied behind it no prob

Bought another as a project recently, but some one nicked it!!
