Hello All,

I've been restoring an old cabin boat, approx 19' length, no markings of any type, the previous owner coated her inside and out with fresh gelcoat, and I believe it was applied with a trowel!,
She's on the water and floating well, a little heavy on the stern, due to the 50hp lump, but I cant get her insured, because the insurance companies want a make and model.
I know she is Shetlend 535 in length and profile, but clearly she isn't a Shetland. Any Ideas? Thank you!

looks like a late sixtys norman except the front hatch
i had this problem years ago with an unknown boat on the canal. they were satisfied it looked factory made so didnt care who made it

thank you nyx2k, agreed it could be a norman, I'm also thinking Picton, digging around to try and find best fit!

Just send them a picture then there will be no dispute as to what they are insuring.

looks like a picton but did they do a hull that large. most ive seen are 13-15 ft'
could be a norman that someone adapted to put the front hatch in when it went from river to sea to allow easy anchor setting.. just a guesss. check to see if area around hatch is modified.
