I was informed yesterday, from the skipper's wife, that the vessel has since been sold and making its way all the way down south!

A great engine the Ford Sabre (as built) tuned versions were used in Offshore Powerboat Racers, based on the Ford straight 6 cylinder Diesel Truck Engine very reliable.
If I remember correctly this Boatbuilder also built a number of pleasure craft.
Good Hull, Good Engine what more could you want and it shows with the life span of this Craft and still going strong.
