Avenger Too

Hi
I’m new to this, and I reckon I’ve picked a peach of a boat here- She is Don Sheads “Avenger Too” I don’t have any line drawings for this, it’s the thing I need to progress. She was around 40’ long, by 12’ beam, and was a deep V construction, in Aluminium. I would like to convert my photos to line drawings, to see if I could progress this. I’m looking to put in twin 30mm screws, but retain dummy outboards, as per prototype- can anyone on here help?

I'm a bit confused here, but you want to scale model this boat ?

 

Hi Dean welcome to the forum.
Im confused by this statement....you have picked a peach of a boat...does that mean you have bought the boat..or just selecting one that looks nice?

Since you say this:

This implies all you have, is the image of the boat nothing else.

Hence Mr.E's question above...it is not clear what you are asking/seeking.

 

Hi, welcome,

I know the boats you mean but I'm of no help.
Perhaps there's a specialized forum for such.
Where have you looked for plans already?

 

I'd be confident it isn't near 40 feet, or 12 feet beam.

 

Twins, really.
What's your budget for the boat?

$1000 for the "30mm" propped version.
$200,000 for the "300mm" propped version.

 

Yes that’s right!

 

Is it an R/C boat with 30mm screws?

 

Without a lines plan you are up against it, I can't see any specs for it on the net, perhaps not surprising considering it is 50 years ago

 

Dean the boat in the photo is Avenger Too - a Don Shead designed hull built by Souters of Cowes way back. Cold Molded construction (wood). I think your description is of Miss Enfield II or Enfield Avenger - both were built in Cowes to Don Shead designs - in aluminium. Miss Enfield II was 32' whilst the latter was 37' in length.

 

Good call Nigel. Welcome to the Forum.
