    it was literally a bare hull with 2 stringers in it when i got it "it was a guy that used to work at tremletts that laid the hull for his own use " the arch was a tremlett build but all the rest i did myself and had some guidance off a friend who did high end car bodywork ,all the teak trim was split down recycled park benches ,2 birth and chemical loo in the front a pop up galley in the cabin ,it was very economical on power "due to it being an offshore class 2 hull it did 35kn+ with the 115 and cruised at 30kn at 3/4 throttle i built it originally to get to the wrecks as we were held ba
