Oops, Compton Marine in the Daily Mail today for all the wrong reasons. Police found large sums of cash in the owners UK home, Spanish Police looking into why all the smuggling boats are Cromptons.

Oh dear, we've just been approached to do thier tube work!

Did they ask for big pockets to be inserted in the tubes?

I always wondered who bought 1250 hp outboard ribs. The fuel bill must be phenomenal.

Compton Marine brings a whole new meaning to the term speed boats.
