Yeah, looks like a nice boat...

- Cant tell any more than you know though really, Certianly looks very much like an L&L short boat, same shape and design as Dee and Weaver etc.

I suspect it is a replica. The sides look uncharacteristically smooth and I cannot see any rivets. Also if you look at the chap at the front of the boat in the orange T-shirt (as opposed to the other one crouching down) he looks a bit out of scale. I suspect theerfore that it is also only about 10ft wide.

I hadnt even noticed that. (despight looking quite closly)

- But now you mention it you may well be right on the ball! Did you get anywhere with contacting Ian Clarke?

Yes, it is Ian's boat, he usually gets his shells from Dual Duel and fits them out himself. I'm not sure who built this one but it's only a couple of years old. He needs it he has a very big family. The scale is deceptive as Colin is a big bloke (orange Tshirt man)
