Can anyone guess which builder makes this:

Where does the outboard go ? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

They have a habit of doing that [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], hence some legal stuff flying around but if you saw it its so bloomin close to tell the difference. Made by Silva in Turkey called a 65 .

Ah well that's me stuffed, I am sure I ve seen very similar at the Turkish show though, is it built in UK or do they do a 'Pearl' and have it made out there?

Well fair play to them. They've obviously recognised that the mainstream builders don't seem to want to make aft cabin boats any more and see a gap in the market. If they can keep the price competitive, then they could be on to a winner. I still reckon the hull is the original Bennett design which Humber used for their 448 and Pearl used for their 45 so I would'nt mind betting that Shetland have bought some moulds from somebody
