Another Metzeler anyone
Any ideas on what this is?
4.9m front to back. Centre 2 man console with luxuary inflatable seat. It is narrow, about 1.2m inside the tubes from memory. I wondered if it was a Metzeler because it has removeable tubes. The bow is different to Suzuki Pete's, but looking at the tubes they may be hiding something. It has a hard pad on the top of the bow tube. There is gray paint under the yellow. Also it has twin elephant trunks.
It belongs to Langstone waterski club and was used by Langstone Harbour Patrol in about 2001 - 2002 if that helps anyone.

The forefoot doesnt look deep enough to be a tornado hull.

Ex Royal Navy Tornado, which explains the removeable tubes.

Thanks Cookee and Christopher, I was thinking of buying it and wondered if you can get new tubes and how much they would be, just in case it needs them at a later date, as they aren't in the best of condition.
I'll give them a call

Do bear in mind that with the shallow V hull it's not going to be a comfortable offshore boat. You'll be fine in sheltered waters, but it will really bang in any sort of chop.
On the other hand it will probably be quite quick!
