Definately not an expert but I think that looks rough, AND that's as good as it can look!

OK, that confirms what I was thinking. The tubes and seat look to have been painted and i'm trying to figure out what the straps are that "seem" to go into the bow?

Is the engine older than the quoted "1995/96"?

Doesn't look ex MOD to me either. Toobs are too low spec-unless someone's removed the armour and straps.

Trailer looks awful-ungalvanised and only half the number of rollers it should have.

The straps are hanging off the hull.

I think the hull looks quite light in colour due to the tubes been painted?

Painted hull ?

Transom appear to be 'pinkish' like the paint was running out when they got to it ?

The whole thing has been painted..
Tubes, inside and the outside has been painted white. the trailer is a horror show! and as for the vintage engine!

I wouldn't touch it if is was paid to take it away... new tubes, new engine, new seat, rewire and a winters work scraping off that effin paint! If you like banging yr head off the wall offer about a fiver!

yuk

I wish it had been that. I thought it was for along time but didn't want to admit it Then we realised it had started the engine and then gone later that day. Explains why my battery was always going flat though.

Now if you wire ya nipples up wrong, then things get funky
