Hi Phil
According to EBay its 43" x 17" although it doesn't look that wide in the photos. This is a multi racing hull (it has a stepped area at the back for the radio box lid) and would probably be best for "C - 15cc glow" or "SI 26 - petrol" classes. It will have been designed for direct, submerged drive with both the prop and the rudder underneath the hull.
You can find pics of similar boats on Robert Daniel's site

All the bits for it are available from Dave Marles http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/ (http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/) or Ian Folkson http://www.iansboats.co.uk/ (http://www.iansboats.co.uk/)
The hull might have been a good price ... now you've just got to get the rest ;)
Cheers

Like Danny says it's a multi hull but I happen to know that one of these has been stretched to give it a 50mm freeboard with a B class motor onboard to comply with BMPRS racing rules, bring it on Kurt......I will be measuring it :-)) {-) {-) {-)
