Post your boat...

In an attempt to get more traffic going here maybe it'd be a good idea for everyone to put up a picture of their boats.
I'll start:
Our Puppeteer 330.

I got my first boat this summer, a 17ft Pirate. I'll see if I can dig out a photo tonight.

Panther 19SC 120HP Turbo Diesel

Does that have a vauxhall engine? I think you posted this on another site. Looks like a comfortable boat. What sort of speed does it do? Would it be suitable for skiing etc?

Wouldn't really call it a Vauxhaul engine at this stage. It's based on the Vauxhaul engine though, then Isuzu made some improvments to it (head-gasket, injectors etc.) then Mercruiser marinised it and then Cummins warrantied it.

Yes its very comfortable for up to 6 people

It does 38Knots @ 4400RPM

Yes its suitable for skiing, I had 2 skiiers behind me one time, might give you an idea of the torque from the diesel engine

Mercruiser engines are great, I worked at a place with a searay 210 with a 5.0 v8 mercruiser engine in it. Class boat. The torque in a diesel engine would be a huge advantage, especially when pulling wakeboarders up out of the water etc. 38knots is quite fast!

Aye, nice speed considering theres a 2 berth cabin, lots of fuel, a toilet, sink, cooker etc. Lots of weight. The great thing about the diesel is that she only loses about 2knots overall speed with a full load of 6 people onboard

She's for sale too

Hi Alt!

Go on the diesel!

I'll post up a pic of my own as soon as i get it from the yard! IT's been 8 months in restoring the mechanics - inboard 3ltr v6 with a hamilton jet drive! Hard to judge the age exactly but its around 75'.. Trouble is the mechanics look great but i've no cosmetic work done yet! Anyway i'll post them as she stands when i can. Im collecting it tomorrow and regardless of the weather i'll head straight for ennell and she what she can do!

hey boat builder - fantastic project well done. Very unique!

Yeh, absolutely amazing looking boatbuilder! Love that style, especially the finish on her..
