I know it was ski raced by Barry and Martin Clapsom about 8-10 years ago. It then seemed to be owned by another guy down at the stone watersports club and the condition of the boat ws never quite as nice.
I'm sure when it raced it had 2.4 or 2.5efis. it was very very quick.
and I loved that acid yellow.

It was origionaly Jim Cramphorns boat he had built to tow his son James. It ran with 2.5 carb motors so could still be the same engines. Does it have drop over cowlings. I have some pics of it in the 1995 worlds in Belgium somewhere, will try and dig them out. I drove it a few times for Barry Clapson, was a quick boat , wondered where it had gone !

If it is that is just down the road to me, Im in Maylandsea and was thinking of joining that club. Who else is a member and what i the criteria of the club? (sorry just realised ive hijacked this thread)

Hope so all i want to do is put it in the water.
had both outboards running the other night one with out the box on. had to be a bit careful as they can run away with no box on. one boxs needs a rebuild and the same engine may need bearing but goin to take the power head off and strip recon it has got a ex plate gone and had a bit of water flowing about the crank. all the carbs need a full overhaul and thay both need a got service and seting up so thay sync up nice and ones not doing all the work.

You can attach your garden hose to the copper pipe in the midesection (which enters the waterpump)
