Help me identify this wee boat please

[Even Chance]

A mate is currently restoring this. He was told it was a Hurley? Any ideas as to what it is?
There are wooden boards that run down either side of the cockpit from the cabin. The rudder is turned side on in this pic. She is GRP, with wooden keels and cast ballast, as you may see in the pics. Any other questions, just ask.
Thanks

Probably a Caprice. Robert Tucker design

Isn't that what "Shrimpy" was, a Caprice?

I would be almost 100% certain its a Caprice.

No No this Caprice

Well someone had to post it.

 

[Even Chance]

Yep, I reckon its definately a Caprice.
Ive read "Shrimpy" already. Good read.
This boat is beginning to look great now, and should be a nice wee boat for him to sail this summer.
Thanks for the help.

VicS, I cant see yer photo, but I can guess!!

Just needs a rub down, some filler and a quick touch up, be as good as new.

 

[snooks]

Maybe I should post that pic on the epoxy filler thread???

I saw her a few years ago, she wasn't how I remembered her

I don't believe it ! The forum ? Unanimous agreement....

 

[Billjratt]

A demonstration of how a refurb can go wrong when the fillers are misjudged.
When did West start using botox?

Not entirely unanimous... I was never all that taken with the other Caprice. I'd take the boat any day.
