Boat make and model?

[Dieselboatman]

Can anyone identify this boat??

Thought it was a microplus but doesn't look right?
Windows look wrong, deck looks bigger than a 501 and no roof hatch

 

[Simonpk]

Teal 22, maybe.

 

[Dieselboatman]

Reckons it's only 15~16 footer though?

 

[Kawasaki]

Yes, I think its a Teal too
Popular at 20/ 22ft ish
Looks to be more like 18 though
Difficult to tell from the picture
Not bad boats at all back in the day
Quite heavily built
Well, stuff was then
Probably need an 80 to perform well with 4 peeps aboard

 

[BruceK]

Somebody will tell me off but it looks like an Alaska 500 to me

 

[CLB]

Teal 18 possibly

[Seastoke]

Topsides looks different

 

[Dieselboatman]

Are they a good boat then?

Sort of Stokey, that why I think its more like an 18footer. They were slightly diffent to some of the bit bigger ones

 

[Kawasaki]

Are they a good boat then?

For what they were
Yes

It's just cos I'm tired. I got to bed late last night because some insomniac thought 1am was an excellent time to start spamming the Messenger group looking for attention.

 

[Kawasaki]

Theres some right anchors about wot wiv all this Splendid Isolation

 

[BruceK]

Isn't there just! And the troll thought sending videos of ugly puppets singing Never Met A Nice Seff-african on opening the spam session might pre-empt a deserved muting of said offender. Devious git I'll bide my time. Wait till all is back to normal and let the wives butcher you.

And you couldn't provide a public service by telling him the clocks have moved forward?

It’s a Teal..as Kwakers said.
Good boats and made in a few different sizes.
They did have a major flaw in their construction in that they were a bit too strong....
Especially if the advantage of installing the biggest outboard that could be used.
The mounded floor section was bonded into the hull with to thicker layer of GRP
The thickness of the hull under the box section was therefore half the thickness of the hull where you could see it.
Driving the boat hard would either fracture the hull where it was thin or break the reinforced box section away because it wouldn’t flex because it was too thick
All that said they were an excellent sea boat despite a relatively low freeboard,
Yours has either been well maintained and driven with a degree of respect or been repaired by removing the box section... applying extra layers in the area of the thin sections and re bonding the original box section with a sensible lay up.
Another tell tale of a repair is the replacement of the box section with plywood which saves a huge amount of weight and gives the structure a better ridgidity.
I have probably repaired 3 or 4 of differing Size in the early to mid 70s using both methods.
Good luck with your new purchase it looks to have survived very well.

This is the only surviving picture of my old Teal 22.

 

[Dieselboatman]

Ok that's useful to know, I am only considering it at this point, depending on price

I also am looking at a microplus 501 just as a first little boat which has a 40hp yamaha 3 cylinder 2 stroke outboard with it

All depends on funds as still very interested in a colvic 20 bare hull....


Is it true that the colvic hulls on the 20ft displacement and the 22ft seaworkers is around 1" think? The more I read about them its stated quite often, and also they are solid basic strong seaworthy boats, if not the fastest....which i have been told on here as well
