hi are you sure thats a marshan as some have the peaked screen bit and i thought that was a sharp as marshans usually have a flat screen and 2 spray rails and sharp has 3 im confused.

Thats a marshan 18. The 19 has a longer sleek visor That it shares with the 21.

Here's some videos of Marshan 19 and 18. Marshan 19 had a modified bottom when it came out the first time.. I think it was intended to produce more cooling for the engine.. Waterpickups wasn't allowed in off 3 racing in the -80's

You can see the modified bottom on a 19 feet in this video at 2:53..

i ran a sharp with a xp 225 rude on it dont think there are that many differences only in build quality but i must say i never had any problems with mine . had my one from new with a new eng went like sh## off a stick.

I think that picture is of a sharpe. Marshan screens were flat around the top. If you look at that pic you can see the screen raises up around the middle.

this seems to be one of those unanswerable questions, i thought mine had a marshan hull but mine has three spray rails and shallows out to a kinda pad near the transom.

i'm yet to see a deck like mine as well, i'll pop some picts up at some point.

which ever mine is definately had the poor build quality, found so many bubbles when i rebuilt it, runs very well with a efi bridgeport if a bit bow down.

are the moulds for the sharpe/marshan around still?

I'm pretty sure the guys that built them originally still have the moulds in Kent.

Scotty on here managed to get a new screen for his a while back.

Think they're running a potato company now, is it Colin and Terry?!?!

Some one on here will have more info.
