Someone told me in another post that you would be able to tell me what make of boat is shown above and approximate year of manufacture. It was sold to me as a Shetland but Shetland Boats say it's not one of theirs! Your help will be gratefully received.

I didn't say 'would', just that Byron is a walking encyclopedia, and is one of best to help you identify!

Eh? Just trying to help. What is your problem?
Edit, and Byron delivered, so I was correct in sending him here to ask Byron directly,

Definately not a Shetland I was involved with them from day one.
Whilst it looks like an early Microplus it is in fact a Camargue 16 built by a firm called Beavis Marine of Tollesbury in Essex. Here's the tech.spec.
length 16'
draft 9"
Max. headroom is 4'
Height above waterline is 5'6" (inc. screen)
Weight is 550 Lbs.
Maximum outboard is a 50hp.
Hope that helps. From the photos it looks to be in remarkable condition considering she was probably built in about 1972

As I said elsewehere, if it's a Microplus, Aztek may me a good source of information. He was restoring one.
