Hello,

This is my new boat. If any one could help me identify it I would be really happy.

The boat is 14'4" long and I think it was built for the BP Corporation somewhere on the South Coast. Southampton or Poole we think. It has a Wortham Blake Fisher Boy inboard engine and the name of the boat is Pipedream.

That is as much as I know.
Cheers,
Rick
 
Conned is a bit harsh Lakey /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Looks like he could do with a few more bunks and rollers on the trailer though.

Take no notice of the rancid old farts on here, especially that Lakey bloke, he's just jealous anyway! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Can't help you with info about your boat, but she looks a nice little classic runabout. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Water Board? No!

Lake? No!

It is on top of a hill near-ish to High Wycombe.

I might just sell the house.
it seems to be quite popular!!!
 
Eeeee arrrrrrr Eeeeeee. There a hard lot on here some times, this sort of banter is generally confined to the lounge, but with opening lines like

and with a very nice pad in the background,

Well then you are asking for some witty remarks from the old school.
I must add very much respected peeps indeed.
All in good fun with no malice intended I am sure.
We don't do nasty on Classic.
For me I have a early 1950 Wooden "plug" of an "Albatross" which was production built in Aluminium at Southampton in the 50s/60s That looks very much similar to the lines of your boat.
They did a twin cockpit or 4 seater I understand.
Cheers enjoy the forum there "is" lots of help and good clean fun to be had here on Classic.
May be if you posted a few more details as to the power plant and transmission, and some pics of different angles it would help to nudge others.
 
I think I have seen one before....

The bottom of the hull had been cut out and then it had been mounted on the chassis of a Reliant Robin.....

I had a ride on it... 40MPH around the Gloucester Ring Road /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I thought the Albatross was built in Norfolk?
 
Thank you for the correction you are absolutely right.
I was under the impression they where on Southampton water near Calshot. don't know where that came from but was obversely quite wrong. I have not done a lot of research I have a video and may be it could be I thought it was Southampton I must dig it out and have another look.
I have found this about them. here
also here
 
I live on Southampton water, can see Calshot from where I am typing this.

Notable motor boat builders round here are Fairey Marine, British Power Boat Co and Ramparts.
