Hello & Help please (another "what is she"?)

[Bodman]

I've bought a salvage project...yes I'm mad...now I need to identify the little so & so! She had been on the Medway in Kent under the name 'Laura Bee' She's approx 24' by 8'6" beam single marinised ford diesel on an old mercruiser leg.

I'm pretty sure she has had a replacement coach-roof including extended sides to the helm 'dropped on'...a tidy job but I'd like to put her back to her original form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Oh yes...She's now re-named 'LADY LUAN'

Its a Maclan 22 or 23 similar to this one:

Hi Chris...thanks very much for the advice, looks like she is a Maclan 25, I'd not come across the mark before so now the detective work starts!!!

Thanks again for your help!

The Maclan saga begins...

Hi & thanks again Chrisd...ANY information, links, specs, photographs or anything else that I can use to base my restoration on for the Maclan 25, which is what I think I have...although there seems to be disagreement over the LOA of the 22 & 25 models, with them both being around the 24' to 25' 6" area??? It seems the 25 had a 'hard top' whilst the 22 wore canvas from the screen aft...great! except mine had been 'rolled' whilst submerged and has nothing above the helm apart from seaweed...

Thanks in advance.
