Crompton Marine 6.0 info wanted

[sparcraft73]

Hi, I've bought a Crompton Marine 6.0 from the Swedish Defense and I'm trying to find information about it. It's powered by a 115hp 2 stroke Yamaha but I don't have a propeller and if someone know the recommended pith it's really appreciated.

The hull seems really weel built and I expect it to serve us well in quite high seas.

If you have any information about the Crompton 6.0 I'm really interested. Are the moulds available? What performace can we expect?

I had a 5.7 with a 115hp many years ago. It was solidly built and very seaworthy. The hull design is fast as the scalloped chines produce a lot of lift, but it makes the ride a bit hard. All round a good little boat that punches above its weight though.

Crompton has a slightly complicated history and the moulds have been through various owners but I don’t know where they are now.

What was the Company Motto again boss? 'Loads of Lift - Loads to Shift'?
