    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

    looks excellent..... could look amazing with some work!
    what sort of costs would be involved with re-fit? ( i don`t have the money, but would like to know what it would cost)....
    good luck with sale.

    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.
