Do you know this boat?
« on: April 27, 2012, 05:06:37 pm »
Hello everybody, I wonder if anyone recognises this boat. Its length is 1100mm beam 280mm. By the looks of it it may well have been a one off. The engine bay is copper with a small coolant pipe emerging just behind the prop, Did it have a combustion engine? Also there are some areas of damage that will need respraying once fixed, but to my eyes part of the beauty of the boat is in the lovely patina the paint has built up. whats the feeling about this, respray the whole thing or just the repaired areas? Any advice would be very useful. Patrick

It looks to me like a Huntsman 31 adaptation with a hard-top.
Or something like that.

Looks like a modified Smeed "Querida" MM640  MHS.
