Byron, you've just justified me putting him in contact with you. The walking encylopedia wins again. Thank you

Just out of interest they have a nice V shaped hull and give an incredibly soft ride in a chop, they went like bats out of hell with a 50 Merc. and could comfortably tow two skiers of average adult weight.

Probably long gone. There are still boat yards in Tollesbury maybe one of them will know. Or some old codger like me living in that area.

As an aside, ingnore my other post on your other thread and I see the trailer board cable is still on the foredeck. I do hope that there isn't a trailer strapped underneath the boat...............!!!!

Thanks to all for your input. I can assure everyone that the trailer is not still strapped underneath and that she planes very well. For anyone interested see picture below - not bad for 36 years eh!!
