there quite a few boats based on that hull type, starting with the original ' Apollo9', which used a long (20") shaft ob, then came a load of copy cats. Seafire, Spitfire, CB-9 (Chris Bridgeman boats, he's no longer with us) etc, etc, most of which where altered slightly to use a short (15") shaft ob. varying deck styles all similar but different.
I had one myself a million years ago (CB-9 variant) with a monster Johnson 20 on it 
Pictured here on the Thames at Shepperton.
I was born in the house in the background of the middle pic

Tears are rolling down my face watching that... Looked like you took one over the top at one point! You'll be limping around for a few days after that LOL.
See you at the weekend all being well - you taking her out Saturday?
