Hi Dave,

Have you seen the actual boat in person, so’s to say, or is it from ebay ? – don’t get me wrong here, I love ebay and have bought loads of stuff from there.

Most of the boats from here advertised as display models are just that and often of a solid wooden hull.

Do you have a picture you could post on the forum along with the length, beam and draft. This information would help other members in giving you the correct help.

Cheers – Ken

Great little boat, I’ve got the billings one sitting on a shelf in my shed.The only fault with it was that after Billings issued it, most of the french fishermen, changed the stern on their real boats from a ramp back to a vertical stern.
