Identifying boat

[Auto Boy]

Hello and thanks for letting me join this fantastic forum, there is a wealth of knowledge which I hope to tap into. We recently bought a 15ft GRP boat to add to our ever growing collection and wondered if anyone could identify what make it is. It has been suggested it may be a Mayland 15, but I don't think it is. The bow looks very different for starters. I am currently in the process of preparing it for the water, just going to do a few day trips up and down the river. First task is replacing the awful windows!

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe An Arran

OOO! Interesting. I will have a look and see if it is.

Can’t help with the make but the windows look ok to me, being one piece will make them reasonably strong. My first job would be to fit a bow roller if possible.

The photos above were taken buy the person I bought it from, here are the latest photos now it is home and I have started sorting out the windows. Removed the awful Perspex and have almost cleaned away the chunks of sealant. Hard work as I don't want to damage the gel coat. Once all removed, I shall take off all the other fittings and prep it for a nice new paint job.

Good point! I will get one sorted before hitting the water.

No not an Arran!

Agreed, I wonder if it is just a custom build?

I feel that I have seen similar before in 50yrs boating. Don't think anyone would go to the trouble of building superstructure mould for one off.
keep looking !
