Well the interesting thing is that its been up for sale for ages. The owner was motivated to sell it and reduced his price to me twice during correspondence to a price that was considerably lower than the original asking price. However, the pictures provided of the boat were (i believe) of it, when the seller bought it two years ago. After its sinking episode it is now apparently minus the engine compartment cover and cushions and also the back seat cushions! No explanation was ever provided for this loss by the seller dispite my asking.
Could have been snapped up by someone in the trade looking to turn a profit. I had been informed during investigations though that this boat was not built by Revenger/Midas Marine and so may not have been fitted out to the same quality standards of Revenger products.
So, that just leaves the Revenger/Midas one from Spain that was Red but is now dark blue with a nasty cheap looking re-upholstery job and needing one engine re-build and the Revenger/Midas one in the UK in nasty colours.
I guess ill sadly go back to looking for a yank boat. Really did want a british built boat though.
