So What's goin on here then ?
Spotted this in my local boatyard, Elkins in Christchurch. WTF is going on here ? If you look closely the boat was registered in Allhallows- does that explain it all ?

Whats that supposed to mean 
1) there is a box section bracket under the swim platform if you look even closer.
2) never seen that boat at Allhallows on mud, ever ever !!

They obviously think that we're barking at AYC....
I've not seen it at Allhallows in the last 40 years:- I'm sure I would have noticed

its like a ram jet for a hercules gets him up to 45mph that bit faster  . but looking at it really its set quite high up. could be so he could run a bit shallower.

Well they must have fecked ur eyes when u had them lasered m8, It quite clearly says Allhallows on the transom.
Also seem to remember that you spent a few years observing in a boat from Allhallows called Obsession

And looking closely at the 1st pic, you can see the heavy duty chain still in place. Which would have been to attempt to stop the pikeys lifting the outboard over the boat compound fence
