PRINCESS 33 MK2

[TRH]

I have a Princess 33 Mk2 1982 non-flybridge version. My wish is to fit a flybridge A.S.A.P. Does anybody Know the whereabouts of any Flybridge units/Plans/Moulds or Person that could build one from scratch or a mould. Any help would be appreciated Trevor.

It would probably be more economical to look for a flybridge model and trade up.
I've seen a few 'add on' fly bridge boats and somehow they don't quite look the business.

Re: diy

Make your own in GRP. If you know of a fb model you can borrow, take a GRP mould off that. I mean polish release agent onto the fb (after removing instruments and cushions and stuff) and then slop fibreglass onto it then when it sets you have a mould. Otherwise copy it in wood, spend hours getting a great gloss paint finish, then take a GRP mould off that. Then when you have the mould make a GRP flybridge. It will look totally original princess. Get materials and info from Glasplies in Crowland Street Southport (directory enq will have number). It's all quite easy, if a little messy

Better ask princess if the roof (now a floor) needs reinforcing
