Brilliant engine!. You can bolt on a set of 90hp carbs, change the max timing and away you go. Clamshell engines are 1100cc where as the newer bucket cowl types are 1300cc. We always measure the hp from the prop (we measure it in PSI actually and convert it) a well set up one will usually be over 75hp.

Freshly painted hull all new seats console etc, engines will be remarkable once I paint and decal them up

WOOHOO! One that's in as good a state as mine!!!!! and clamshells on the back!!!!!

I just have the nagging feeling yours will have shiny toobs before mine.

Love the telltale mods! Previous owner a frustrated Jetskier?

That's going to be a really good boat when you're finished. What year is the hull?

[nugent]

Result-
engines + hull just been confirmed 1989, thought that it was going to be older

[LURCHER]

Blimey that was quick...that's not good at all. Identical description and pictures. Seller has never sold anything before it would appear, probably just bought lots of little things for a couple of quid on the account for a couple of years till finding something big that he can scam. Clever(ish)

[nugent]

Long story but I did not buy it In The end
I do have a nice jockey console and 4 seat pods looking lonely in my garage now tho

[falcon0310]

As edd didn't buy, I have my tornado at Paul tillys

Started to take Humber apart

[falcon0310]

not sure what too do
hull will stay orange but do re flow coat in orange or another colour thought please,
quite barrow hull so maybee single jockey than side by side
whould white or grey flowcoat look odd ?
thanks adrian

[falcon0310]
