I bought this beauty for the princely sum of 200 euro this weekend. It needs a compleate wood refit but the hull is perfect. I plan to make it my winter project after the DIY of course

I was wondering if anyone would have any idea as to who made the hull, It is double skinned and a very nice weight, 3 boyancy tanks floor, front and back and originally had 4 seats









Cheers

Got yourself a bargin there mate . I have no idea who made that , could guess but then end up looking like a ****
Sure someone will know though .............
Hull perfect ?? Behave !!! in everyway apart from the colour maybe

Aye the colour is good craic I think it is actually painted with household emulsion.

Looks like a Burke hull but its hard to tell from a photo. There's a crowd here in Galway do paint for yachts helicopters and most things with GRP bodies. Its a two part paint with a hardener and I know a few guys who painted their lake boats using it and made a fine job of them.
Would like to see a pic of the boat when you get it finished.
Good luck.

Anymore info on the paint people please ??
You should have 2 boats to see the end results on as both Peter's and mine are being totally redone .
I am going to take pics step by step and then put some sort of report together to post on here at the end as it may help others thinking of taking on such a job as this themselves . Learn from the many mistakes I will be sure to make along the way ( though I may not be to quick to post those )

Danny I will try to find out about the paint for you. I don't know the name of the company but a mate of mine knows as he used this paint last year. I will try to catch up with him as soon as I can and get back to you.
Good luck with your project, should keep you busy all winter.
