Here are10 facts for you.

I use a 5kg Bruce on my Warrior 165.

Yesterday, my daughter again asked why I didn't do something useful with my time. Talking about my "doing something useful" seemed to be her favourite topic of conversation .. She was "only thinking of me ," and suggested I go down to the senior centre and hang out with the guys .. I did this. and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business . I told her that I had joined a parachute club She said, "Are you nuts? You 're almost 79 years old , and you're going to start jumping out of airplanes ?" I proudly showed her that I'd even got a membership card .. She said to me, "Good grief, where are your glasses ! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club , not a Parachute Club". "I'm in trouble again, and I don't know what to do... I signed up forfive jumps a week," I told her. She fainted. Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun !

They were going to ask Rod Stewart to sing at Margaret Thatcher's funeral, but decided that "Wake Up Maggie" might not be appropriate.

They don't slow the thieves down very much, they used an angle grinder on mine. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Very Nice.

Fuel costs are probably higher than "Mistress" before the re-prop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Crew" looked good, where do I get one? Crew not boat.

Rich stole your thunder then!

It's issue 111, November 2010. Which for some reason I don't have.

Hi Adam I should have, any idea which issue or at least what year?

John, it might be worth asking on WSF

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Robert joined his dad after they moved to Poole and became Sunseeker. I doubt very much the Robert looked at the photo and supplied the answer, most likely some girl in the office who's only ever seen the Gin Palaces they produce.

More than likely. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

I'd suggest it's one of boats Poole Power Boats imported which they then based their first in house produced boats on. Problem is I doubt there's anyone left at Sunseekers from those days, or they don't want to be associated with anything so small. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Making progress.

Our trials boat wasn't simulater clinker. I seam to remember that Poole Power Boats started at Southbourne, under a different name and originally imported boats from Scandinavia. I've a feeling your boat could be one of those, before they started producing their own.

The topsides look very similar to this, A Sportsman 17 produced by Poole Power Boats (now Sunseekers). They were produced with inboard engines, but they produced a special for us as we could get an outboard engine from Naval Stores and keep the price down, therefore we could buy on local purchase. Photos 2 and 3 were taken during our lunch break, whilst waiting for the next target.
