Hulls for fitting out

[Guest]

I'm thinking about buying a motor boat hull and fitting it out myself. I believe a moulder does this for Mitchell hulls. Does anyone have the contact details for this manufacturer or others.
I'm looking at doing this for 30 to 36 footer

www.aquafibre.co.uk. Crap web site. I believe they do contract moulding for Brooms others and have a range of motorboats they can mould for you. Saw their stand at London Boat Show a couple of years ago and seemed quite on the ball. Can't say the same for their webite though. Must be the worst site ever. Unless you know different. Oh and there's Colvic in Colchester or nearby, though not sure if they're back in business. Think they went bust last year, but bought out by someone else so maybe?

Aquafibre are in fact owned by Broom boats and damn good hulls the make too. Many others like Haines (Haynes?) base their completed boats on Aquafibre hulls. Of Course good old faithful Colvics take a lot of beating.

Speaking from experience it will EITHER cost you a lot more than buying a new craft or it will take many years. I opted for the latter ten years ago. Nearly finished now. I still think it is worth the effort.

As an addendum to Ian's message. Traditionally the 2nd hand value of a home completed boat is always less than one that was yard built.

Are you any relation to Andy Lupton who works on the I.O.W.?

No, not as far as I know. The surname is not all that common in Southern parts.
