SC35 - Buyer Beware

[[2068]]

I can't be certain, but this could be that "display" SC35 shell that was used for advertising purposes.
Except this time around, it has engines, outdrives, and a bowthruster.

Clues are that the instruments and controls are all in the wrong places, the interior is mostly missing apart from some plywood, the portholes are wrong, no liner in the engine bay, no bilge pump outlets at the stern.
No shots of the mid-cabin, saloon or galley areas.

Slight problem is that the "display" hull wasn't built to the same specs as actual SC35's.
So possibly fine for river use or as a houseboat, but on the sea, literally anything could happen.

Scary stuff. Were there any 'proper' part completed hulls when the factory went bust?

The last SC35 in Uk production was topped off to a very high standard and completed/delivered.
The moulds and tooling went to Hanse, and they churned out some more as S380's.
I'm not aware of any "part build" hulls escaping, apart from the display zombie monstrosity.

I was shown pictures of the same boat a year or so back by someone looking to raise funds to buy and finish it. I remember at the time thinking the midships cabin window was wrong and thought it could be the display hull.
At the time the engines were on crates at the time.

A good use for it would be for one of the magazines to buy it as a "crash test motorboat", then subject it to a series of disasters of increasing severity, culminating in an "everything on fire" test.

The engines, drives, and the windscreens might be worth something, though.

Good grief did you see the bowthruster installation! Looks like it's held in with filler and paint.

so next time we see it I guess it will be finished and up at £100k...

Those engines and drives must be worth 30k?
