Which Aquadors made in Ireland and when?

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Can anyone confirm which models of Aquador were made in Ireland and during which period? I believe there were some build quality issues with Irish made boats. Is this correct? Is there any way of identifying an Irish made boat from a Scandi made one?

Mike,

2002 Hull numbers were the final cut off for the 21 and the 23HT (Moulded in 2001). The 26HT was never officially made until the move to Scandi, but I believe a few early test 26HT's were moulded in Ireland. Not sure if these ever hit the market though. The boats made in Ireland are structually sound but the quality of finishing was poor. Just look in the lockers and at support systems (Toilets, electrics). It is quite easy when looking at the 2002 boats to recognise which boats are Irish built as they mostly look knackered! The last few were moulded in Ireland but finished in Scandi.

Hope that helps
