A quick google turned this review up:

Temptress
Chris Rojek, Diving Officer, Peterborough BSAC
Engine: Johnson 175hp
Length: 6.1m
Divers: 8
Trailer: Hallmark
Construction: "They had to put it together quite quickly. It is a fairly simple set-up, but drain holes had to be added and the transom height has been increased. We do not like the fact that there is a lot of glue around the seams and there are a few areas on the hull where the gel coat is cracking a bit - but these are the only two niggles we have."
Space: "She is a nice and long boat but narrow and can be quite cramped with eight divers." Seaworthiness: "She is great to drive - especially with that engine. She is fast and gives a dry ride but does not handle chop as well as our Delta because she does not have such a deep-V hull. However, the club is happy with her performance."
Towing: "She feels very well balanced when towed and launches easily."
Service: "We originally ordered an orange and black boat but we ended up with a boat with a white hull and blue tubes!"
