Unidentified boat...
My friend has just boat this boat but we don't know what it is. It's an old waterski race boat (not sure of the year but the engine is around 1990's) it isn't the original cowling on the engine.

Has a built in fuel tank and also bow ballast tank. Looks alittle like a piston nemesis but I'm not sure they raced them.

Any ideas?

I'm sure the guys over on Boatmad.com would be able to help.

It's more 'Their sort of thing'.

I got there in the end with that one, but had to look at the images again to get it.
