Alan, Is this the same concorde boats that built the Fiesta and Florida models in the eighties....if so....have you got any pictures or further details you could post.

Ian, yeah the same guy! I did have lots of pics of building them and molds and a few raceboats he had down there but I can't find them anywhere, they're prints. Not much info on them, they were a fairly run of the mill speedboat for the time. Although they were the only production speedboats built in the UK to have a pad on the bottom at that time that I know of. They were fairly quick too.

Lynn was wrapping things up when I finnished college, he stopped building concorde speedboats in the early 90's, still builds to order though and had a few complete boats in stock. He's building RIBs now, they're prety rough though!

Fiesta, I think!

Sorry to disapoint you Roofer - it's actually a 60hp 4 stroke 1 litre boat that you're looking at in the docks on its side!

............... Unless you're swopping the 2.5EFI for a 1.0 4stroke of course!

cookee you did'nt disapoint me, i was using those 2 pics to show the difference between fast and slow, obviously gone over your head though

Cookee · 26-01-2005, 07:10 PM

I'll tell you what - lets just agree to disagree on this 'cos I havn't a clue what you're talking about mate- maybe one day we'll meet and have a civilised debate in a bar over a pint or two?

ps. which one do you see as fast and which is the slower?
