I owned it in 91. Original owner I believe was Tony Donald who part-exhanged for his Donzi Black Widow.

From me it went to Nauticalia Boats in Shepperton.

The last time I saw it was in 95 at Sparkes Marina Hayling Island. Sadly, uncovered and suffering a bit from it.

The chap I got it from had a full cover made for it which is pretty good tbh. The gelcoat is in pretty good nick, just need to give it a clean. Brakes dont work at all which was not much fun!!
I need to tinker with a few bits, mostly on the trailer which I think could really do with being a twin axel so may look into that, also it seems to sit really high on the trailer which may make the L & R a bit hard, but that may be down to the large tyres on it. I want to give in a try one evening this week to see what it runs like before doing to much.

Having just sold a ring called badly bruised I though I`d stay clear of a ring themed name this time. The more I think about it I like oblvion, but then again Red Hot may be pretty good. Some people get kept awake worrying about work, I havent slept for 2 nites trying to think of a name!!!!

Port Solent.

And Dan, the brakes didn't work when I had it either. You might also notice that one of the mudguards is painted black as opposed to moulded black. One was missing when I bought it so I had to borrow one from another trailer.

If you are going for a Lord of the Rings theme then....

Ringwraith

would seem to fit the bill.

Is the Merc in Bens pics not a Merc brown band, whereas the current engine in Dans photos appears to be a newer Merc! Or am I seeing things!

Name wise, one for the ladies to take note of: Ring me! Might give Chaos the wrong idea though!


regards

Alex

Many years ago, there was very smart bright red P20 in Jersey with a 2.4EFI on it's arse called 'Red Raw' , that looked good, and the name/graphics were excellent.

On the subject of names, was there ever a famous boat called 'Piston Broke' or 'Pistan Broke'???

I'm not sure if it ever existed, is a figment of my imagination or just one of those well used names like 'wet dream'? but for some reason i thought it was a white & blue P20?
