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
