Does anyone know what brand and model this boat is?

Welcome to the Forum Liam.
Do you have any broadside view photos that you can post?
I will hazard a guess that she might be a Fletcher from the 80's (or 70's even), about 22' (?), although Fletchers usually / often had an alloy bow roller for the anchor cable where the navigation light is.

Looks a bit like a 1980's Glastron ssv 163

Don't tell us that these were the pictures posted on ebay when the op placed his bid & #1 was what he found when he went to collect it

It seems to be a Glastron Spirit 165. If you zoom in you can see Spirit written on the steering wheel

Thanks everyone.
It’s been sat for about 15 years ?

Hi, either Glastron imported from the USA and sold by Roger Clark Marine under license, or it might be one built by Roger Clark Marine.

Either a glastron 167, 176 or similar…or a spirit version of the same thing.

It looks as if its on a UK trailer without brakes, so you need to be careful of the weight.
I bought a 14ft Bayliner which was still on the original un-braked American Trailer.
You probably know that in the UK you can only tow a trailer without any brakes if the weight is over 750 kilos.
After fitting a 25hp Two Stroke engine on the back of the Bayliner and putting a petrol tank on board (with petrol in it) I towed it to a HGV Weighbridge and the combined weight of the boat & trailer was 730 kilos, so in effect it was just 20 kilos under the towing weight.
If this boat is a 16ft boat you could easily be over the 750 kilo weight.
But there are second hand trailers on eBay with brakes.
Good Luck.

You mean UNDER 750kg unbraked; typo.
Question prompted by your post - do trailers for outboard powered boats have their axles set further back? Otherwise they'd be light on the nose?

That’s the original matching glastron trailer it would have been supplied with new. Rare to see them still with the boat.
