Hi
I have a boat on hard stand. I am wondering if folks here can help me identify who made her and what model she might be.
I would like to get her in the water. My intention is to offer 2 * 1/3 shares in ownership but I need to identify her.
Hopefully some may be interested.

The style is known as a pod cat.
In photo #3 it appears to be of strip plank construction using narrow strips around the tight curves up and over the deck with wider strips on the flat hull sides.
The hull shape is slightly reminiscent of the earlier designs of John Shuttleworth, the dog box on top looks like a home brew effort.
It is entirely likely that the whole boat was self designed and built from ideas purloined from various designers
Very large motor a long way back on that boat. Cavitation is going to be a problem.

Thanks for that.

I am aware of cavitation. Just wondering how is that going to effect the performance of the motor. Will it induce vibration?

I reckon it is a Richard Woods Strider folding Cat

You could be correct. I was told that it folds and have seen the joints.
