While sorting the rubbish in the 3 Rubbish Containers at work on Monday, I found this Hull, I didn't ask, just put it in the boot of my car! She is 1 metre long, beam 22 cms. There are lines to show Hawse ports and a cut-out in both Bulwarks, I have pencilled them in. There is also a point to drill for the rudder shaft, but nothing for a propellor shaft exit.
  So, does anyone know what model this is? Who made it and what should she look like? Not a Sailer, no proper keel, Mystery!

Oh yes, the hull is very thin, about 1mm, ABS, so would need formers and a substantial deck for stability, I think. (but what do I know???!!!)

I don't know what hull it is but I was given one exactly the same a few years ago and i made it up into a model of Watkins tug the Simla. not a bad shape for an old steam tug design possibly.

Very nice! After talking with my little bruvver ( He is clever) we sort of decided it could be a Side Wheel Paddler, ( The flat hull sides a midships and cut down bulwarks for Paddleboxes suggest that) So that is what might well happen to her, twin electric motors so I can have varying speeds to help steering and better manoevering. Upperworks whatever takes my fancy. Now to decide what motors, escs etc. ......
