I have just purchased this hull as an unfinished project. It was built by a company called RTK Marine, a british company who have been supplying many specialist craft of this type to the british armed forces since 1972. The loa is 17ft 6" and beam is 7ft 3". The hull takes a long shaft motor. The usual motor would normally be 140hp (either johnson or suzuki) but, the larger 6.3 metre model will take twin 140's. This i'm told produces speeds of between 40&50 knts if travelling light. With the single 140 she should get to around 30knots. I am intending to rebuild this hull over time, but to start with am gonna concentrate on the outside of the hull. Unfortunately, past owners have done poorly finished repairs so the hull looks rubbish. i can understand this to some extent as any repairs to be done frome the inside would need the deck removing, the foam between the skins digging out and then re-doing. This is gonna be a lot of trouble. The foam gives the hull most of it's rigidity and strength. I believe it is injected in at point of manufacture whilst the hull is in a jig to prevent the pressure of the expanding foam bending the hull out of shape, and I obviously do not have a jig at my disposal.

1969 British Seagull Silver Century Plus, with Clutch (WSPC), reportedly 6.5 HP. Found for sale in northern Virginia by a man who said the magneto failed, and he wanted something newer for his auxiliary motor. Paid $30. Heck for that price I dont care if it never runs--I can always stand it up in my nautical room as a conversation piece!

Bought the boat 2 seasons ago knowing the floor was starting to go. Used it for two seasons, no real issues. Added a Bimini top, re-did the seats myself. Now we're up to replacing the floor and I thought I would share.
