the black thing by were the ugly windscreen was is a funny colour because i got overspray on it only needs a little wet and dry sanding to sort it out what do u all think?and like i said any ideas what it is could u let me know please thanks

[RossM]

Wow!
Great job youve done there!!
lovely work

[Hydrostream]

I think it's a concorde, not sure of the model, built in Milford Haven by Dudley Marine, I think he sold all his molds or gave them away, not sure. He was still working away down there when I left that part of the world about 7 years ago, but was starting to wind things down.

The triangular "pad" on the aft hull is a dead giveaway.

Nice resto by the way

I am not sure the model it reminds me of a plancraft, but anyhow you've done a dam fine job bringing that boat back to life!

[Matt]

Is it gonna get the V4 Johnrude on it?

[cfun]

Back in the 80's a guy I knew had one with an 85/90hp yam, another guy had a similar boat but with a slight change to the screen area, both boats were identical in the hull but the screen area was different and both boats had a different name on them, however the names of both manufacturers escape me for now as it was a fair time ago...did go for a spin on it and it ran well for a 16 ft boat top speed was about 55mph running alongside mine

[cfun]

Actually the name interceptor sounds familiar

[dave_123]

thanks or all the replys guys no its not having the v4 fitted to it all they are good for is the scrap pile the same as the old v4 yams...its having a 60 merc 2stroke and i think it should go quite well with it coz when i turned it upside down to paint the bottom 3 of us lifted it no problem at all and that was after the new deck was all glassed in...if any one could find out a link 2 any sites that show my boat for sure could u let me know i really wanna know what it is exactly thank

Spoke to phil bennet of LJ Marine in kent
he is sure its not a concorde although the pad looks similar
phil bought the moulds from lynn a number of years ago and
has re-decked the 16 for E9000 and built a new 18 for OCR
(great restoration by the way)

[TEAM-ATS]

Pretty sure its an interceptor built and raced by Alan Sibbons in the mid 80's. Raced in OCR (C class - 70 hp). Alan Layton also raced one. They were based on 14' Concorde which pretty much won everything in that class.

[cfun]

As I said interceptor sounds correct and therefore I agree with team-ats
