Ich persönlich finde das Design dieses Bootes wunderschön. Stelle mir schon seit Längerem die Frage, welches Boot das ist...
Weiß das jemand?

sieht wirklich richtig schön aus, hat was von eine verbreiterten Topfuel-Dragster-Foo-Ling

My first thought was a Staron. They were a regionally popular boat out of Florida (U.S.). Similar bow shape, similar overall lines. Like many runabouts of the day, there was a lot of copycat building going on. If something work for one builder, others would start adding similar features.

Here is another one.

Es könnte ein da Silva-Boot sein.

Definitely not a DeSilva. Delivas are noted by the lack of a downturn on the foredeck. The foredeck is more or less flat from the center frame forward...

ich hab hier noch was für diese Rubrik

Vielleicht weiß da einer was drüber, sieht sehr schick aus

Das ist einfach: das ist eine kleine de Silva aus den 70ern oder jünger - zu erkennen am Windshield. Die Lauffläche ist extrem schmal und kurz was das Boot sehr schnell macht. Was merkwürdig ist: die Turnfin ist komplett an die Seite gewandert und sieht ein bisschen aus wie selbstgestrickt.


Wie schon vom ehemaligen Besitzer / Fahrer auf der Seite geschrieben:

This boat is 11' 6" with a 34" bottom. I weigh about 195 and had to add about
25 pounds of lead. It has a 24 degree transom. The cockpit is 22" wide

Danke Andy,

das mit De Silva war klar, nur das Jahr nicht.

Stimmt die TurnFin schaut schon etwas eigentümlich aus

As noted above - it is NOT a DeSilva. Most runabouts have a "signature" of some sort that varies between builders. DeSilvas had a distinct signature, usually involving very little downturn at the bow, particularly of the era in question. Also, cockpit coamings on DeSilvas run in a straight line from the transom the full length of the cockpit to the center frame. No curves. The "snub nose" bow of this boat is similar to Starons of the 1970s, but the cockpit coaming is different. As I said previously, it is likely a copy of something else that was built in that era, as for every "branded" hull, there were likely a half dozen others that were built by someone in their back yard.

Hello Chinewalker !

I expect,there will be a DeSilva in 1:5.2 scale in the next time wich is correct build.
Excuse my bad english.One question ! Did you had contact once upon a time with a Willis Comet craft ?
