Acquired this recently with a view to restoring it. Somewhere in the dark recesses of my memory I seem to recall seeing a very similar kit to this in the 70's, but can not find it anywhere on the net. The engine looks identical to an Enya 09 but  has no name on it, I believe a company did make copies of that engine for a while, but again, I can not find any information on the web. The engine isn't that important, as I have a mint Enya 09 that I will use, I mainly bought the boat as I have tried unsuccessfully for many years to obtain a manifold for my engine & this has one, but any ideas on the boat would be very helpful.


Thanks  Glenn

lesro arrow mk1 ?

Thanks for the quick replies gents. Lesro Arrow mk1 looks like the one !! Could only find a youtube clip of it, no images, but it looks very similar. Will search further.
& maybe a build log too.

Lesro do have a website...no doubt a quick flick through Google will locate it.

I managed to get a plan from Lesro to enable me to finish it. I'm sure they will be able to help you if you ask.

I can vouch for that.  Bob now wear cycle clips on his trousers when it goes in the water!

Brilliant!! Thank you all so much for your help. i will try to get a copy of the plans from Lesro.


It will definitely start off with the Enya 09 in it, I know it wont be very fast, but it's in keeping with the era of the boat & a chance to use the engine I have had lying around for almost 20 years.
