Hi everyone. I'm from the Sussex Coast UK and have a 30+ year old Flatacraft Magnum. I think it must have been garaged most of its life as there are no patches and the Hypalon when clean still has a shine to it. When I bought it just over a year ago it had a Yamaha 30 2 stroke which, when tried out had a shot gearbox. Once I got over having been screwed over I bit the bullet and bought a new Yam F40. Very pleased with it, goes like stink and great seakeeping for a 3.8M boat. Being a bit of a restorer, I am trying to bring the boat up to the next level to make it as good as it can be. The one thing spoiling the look is the faded "Flatacraft Magnum" badges on the rear of the tubes. I was wondering if there was anyone on the Forum that know where I could either acquire some old stock badges, know of the company that made them or know of a company that could make them. Thanks in advance.
