BP 'DYNAPLANE' pacesetter

l am the fortunate....but poor owner of the dynaplane vessel 'pacesetter'.....genuine Eugene clemence/williamson design high speed monohull.....originally powered by rolls royce gnome gas turbine ....achieved 103mph from just 800 hp......this is a 42ft all welded aluminium vessel.....built by british hovercraft comp UK 1979

lm looking for a good home for her.....her restoration is beyond my means.......new turbine and refit required......make me a sensible offer for this unique vessel

Can't help you with a buyer - but how about posting pics of her.... you never know, it may just spawn some interest

if you shopped around for a time expired gnome engine....plus basic refit.....you wouldnt get any change out $40k....it would never be a gin and tonic boat......3 bolster set up.....no soft furnishings.....l dreamed of a single turbine....bout 2000 hp.....twin screw splitter box.....double arnesons......and 130mph.....oh well......dream on

To the fortunate owner of the Dynaplane...do you still have it and what are you asking if so.
