I recently got this hull from a fellow MBM member, needs quite a bit work , the deck has parted from the hull on the bow of the starboard
Sponson, lots of holes to fill and a repaint.

I am going to convert a 30cc Roybi strimmer engine for the hull.

Cheers Glenn & Mart, I hope to run it off Canvey Sea Front if there are no swimmers or anglers about, the last time I run one I collected a float snatched his rod from a tripod but I did tow it in for him and pointed to the NO FISHING SIGN.

Finished boat, as you can see the header has been modified to clear the hatch, the flange has been shortened by 15mm also shortened between the second and third bend and extended 30mm after the first bend to clear the coil, so the header is still the existing length.

Forgot to add total weight with full tank 6.5 kg
