Freedom,
This may help....
Prior to 1985 none of the boats from the late sixties onward were numbered on the boat , we knew every owner by name and could usually track the progress of each boat as it changed hands and went on to race with a new owner.
From 1985 it was obvious that numbering individual boats helped me identify which model a person was referring to. I had introduced the R15 ( possibly the type this thread is all about ), series C 16 s ( the Bs being stepped ) , and up to series B 18s .
Stepped and conventional vee 20 footers ,some with special ventilated hull bottoms to series B. By this time the 21 range was on its second re-incarnation. The numbers were glassed to the underside of the screen from this date , this was common knowledge but a 'secret ' second number was glassed to the reverse of the rear seat backrest . not easy to spot.
By the eighties people were 'passing off' 20 footers for 21s by re decalling . ( there is a case of that happening at the moment with a red 20 series B being offered as a R21.
The 15 measured approx 15 feet nine inches , the sixteen was tailored to a particular racing class, the stepped 16 b being the shortest and the quickest, and used to very good effect in class 4 , lifting the record at Windermere.
18s were all around 18 feet nine inches , 20s nearly all 20 feet ten inches but EVERY genuine 21 measured exactly 6.5 Metres (21feet four and a half inches ) the max allowed for F1 ski racing to get the most amount of boat in the water to help the skier.
I can usually identify a boat prior to 1985 from the way that it was built and stiffened. mail me a pic or two and I will try to help.
Mike

Mike,
Have the same problem as Freedom - cannot find any ID slip and would be interested to know my boats history, had Slippo make a few enquiries but no joy.
If you have time I would certainly appreciate any help info you have.
The boat is a Ring 18 and it appears to have been rigged by "Ron Scott Marine" since there were is stickers on both the hull and engine. It has at some point been called "Trivial Pursuit" but when in its history is was called this I dont know. I have had the boat for 3 years now and bought it from a bloke down in Windermere who was selling it due to the speed restrictions.
Have spent a good deal of time under the dash when I re-wired it all but never found any slip.
As i say, would appreciate any info you can give me.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Fred,
Yours is the same as Daves, from the pics you posted, but I would be interested to see the underdeck stiffening to see if this is the same.
Fortunatley in the early eighties very little copyright theft occoured, it seemed to start in the latter part of the decade.
Mike
