[Mr Googler]

Surfury. Levi design. Built by Souters. Cowes -Torquay 1967. Average speed 53.42. I can tell you who built the model too.

The shop is world leisurewear 113 high street Cowes.

p.s. a quick zoom in on the picture helped a bit

Mostly there, I didn;t think it would take long.

Original is in a NMM barn somewhere not on view to the public.

Landmark boat. Ha ha! Land mark boat!

I'm pretty sure that the original was in the Motorboat Museum in Pitsea, until it closed a few years back.

Correct, now in NMM reserve collection.

Is that at Birdham

 

[burgundyben]

No. I think the boat at Birdham you are referring to is Alan Burnard's Sea Fox.

It was quite a long time ago when it was owned I understand by the Gardner bros
