So I have just acquired some low hours small block V 8's to drop in - about 275 hp per side. If anyone wants a classic which is sound but needs the engines fitted then let me know. Most of you will probably know it.
Also I have a Nelson 34 cockpit/launch version with twin low hours Perkins Sabre 215's. If any interest.

But you have to bear in mind that foreigners (even ex-pats) have to be dealt with in a more suttle way,otherwise they may not add their presence to the main event of the year,whereas UK bods can be trampled on at will.
Cheer up it could be raining /snowing in there.Harden you up for the task ahead,cocker.

Well the only thing I must add is that I used to go to Love Lane Primary School which was situated more or less opposite Enfield Marine! I distinctly remember there being some large warehouse buildings as per the attached GEarth image, that bore the Enfield emblem! Perhaps you can enlighten me Graham! And by the way, it's about 24º here today with wall to wall sunshine.

If you zoom in on that image you can see some moulds outside one of the buildings, so boats are still being produced there.

Well now,that`s a bogler.
Can`t find any reference to Enfield Marine in Cowes.Enfield engines,but that isn`t as per your map.What I did find was that Ernie Sims son carried the name Enfield to run Enfield Guitars in Kent.
All the shead boats were built at Wootton near the car ferry.
If Magnum Man can find Enfield Marine (Powerboat builders) in Cowes,it may be possible to retreive him from the pig pit,after he`s scraped everything off his rear commodore`s outfit.

If you do a search for them on Google their registered offices were in Thetis Road, Cowes - the road runs parallel with the road to the Cowes/East Cowes chain ferry, kind of behind the old Ratsey and Lapthorn sailmakers place. They were incorporated in 1968. Not sure though when they went into receivership! Late 70's?

Found an official listing for them at 'Somerton Works', Cowes! Somerton Middle School was just along the road from the Primary school. Bingo! I remember seeing one of the racing hulls behind the big sheds there.....

Impossible to beat you guys to the draw.
What happened to Doggone Again? Was she the boat built for Brian Souter of Stagecoach?

Awesome looking boat.
Congrats on the Stirling name for the new 34 Cookee. Very strong name and will sell well north of Hadrian's wall. William Wallace (with help) won the battle of Stirling (Bridge) in 1297.
Good luck with the roll out.
Rob
