Tony,

It's 33'' long- not sure whether Dave Wiggins did one, someone else might know.

I find that I don't particularly enjoy refurbishing old models, preferring to build from new. It's difficult to know how far back to go with them. Ironically, a laser cut kit of this boat has been produced by IP Engineering since I bought this, and I might have been tempted to build from new had I known.

Thanks for the interest…Ian

Thanks Paul,

Yes, I'm a sucker for these old boats, but as you say, some of the ebay ones fetch silly money and can be in a dreadful state. Funnily enough, I haven't thought of them as period colours- just the ones I like.

As I said, you can get a new kit of Wavemaster now- about £90 I think, laser cut and from The Vintage Boat Company (I think, haven't double checked that). It's a really nice running hull- Les Rowell knew his stuff.

Sorry I haven't contributed to your hovercraft thread, but I'm afraid the technicalities left me behind a while ago! I do follow it though.

Hope you're well…Ian
