Help! Please Identify My Speedboat

[barryd75]

Hello there i have recently purchased this speedboat, but unfortunately the previous owner could never identify the manufacturer/model/year.i have been aimlessly searching for this but have had absolutely no joy.
a few suggestions have been made i.e fletcher arrowsport / plancraft sceptre /global sabre/ labrador/ picton/ mustang all of which are not correct.the boat is 14.5 ft with a vey shallow v hull with a very distinctive slant on the bow nose (see pics) i would love to know what this is as i have spent hours and hours looking through google pics and forums trying my upmost to find out a bit about it.it has been carefully refurbed and i cannot find a manufacturer marking anywhere.PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

Have you looked for a serial number moulded into the transom? Also look around for a capacity plate (how many people/ hp)

[barryd75]

i have searched high and low yet cannot find anything so frustrating

Can you provide a close up, hi res picture of the upper right hand corner of the transom? This is where the HIN will be. The design looks modern enough to be post 1973, which means it should have a HIN.

nothing there guys all smooth and no markings,near transom etc etc anywhere else to look?

I had a Picton that looked similar.

thats was the route i have been looking down but the definate difference is the slant on the bow nose which i ascnnot match up with another like it

Something nor adding up. The boat looks like new or freshly painted , the engine is old like a Selva or Chrysler or even a painted Yamaha?

The trailer is too small and looks much more aged than the boat and the gear controls are definitely old style.

I have never see a flat step to the hull like that, I would remember.

Its not impossible that it could be a copy of something with a subtle change so recognition is not obvious.

Have a look at the Bristol range ,those strakes at the stern look familiar.

hi frosty the engine is a 1972 johnson seahorse longshaft with electric start.the trailer is a galvanised 1991 bramber but without the new hubs, wheels and winch and rollers (yet to be fitted).and the boat was fully refurbed march 2010.but gonna have a look down the bristol line and see what it comes up with

Ask the folks at Performance Boats. I have seen boats exactly like this on their website.

hello all again i have been in touch with at least 20 manufacturers and all have said it is definately a euro hull possibly crusader but unfortunately crusader no longer exist so cannot confirm this so i think i have hit a blank

[barryd75]
