    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    I agree Matty

    Same hull as the one off 21 St Tropez we are working on. What we have is a stretched 19. Done by Roy Farmer at the factory. I don't like the panel, that's for sure. The tabs are interesting. I bought a set of those. They are 280 Merc tabs with short factory plates. They are not 150 model. That's what the Baby has. I think they are called 180 model.
    I have far too many boats, just ask my Wife.

    Well , the deck sure doesn't have the same design/styling near the joint as the Hornets did. Out of the 2 lifting rings , the stern one is period .

    Might this be an unknown clone ?

    Okay, not original. Even if it's a conversion of sorts, it could be improved upon. It's not a bad platform to start with... plus it's neat and clean.

    However, I don't know if it commands the asking price... well, yes, I do and it does not. But, if it were priced right It's worth consideration (to someone) as it's not junk.

    in the land down Under where women glow and men plunder.

    they made a hornet clone with several decks, a cuddy being one , wonder if it is one of their renditions the fuel fill would work for a bloke trailering down there


    the deck transom line looked to flat to me but it could be the pictures or the deck mod that did that

    It doesn't look like there's any crown to that deck... anywhere. That's why I think it's a one off home job.

    woobs yes the deck is flat what I meant was the deck hull joint I have been going thru all my hornet pics. The lines on the Hornet are a little more subtle than it's smaller siblings. BUT once you see them they grow on you well at least they did on me.

    It does look as they stretched the boat some of the crown of the deck went too but it was never flat, the arch at the transom looks flatter on the H3 than it does on the H or H2 but again angle of the pic matters

    in picture 1 and 2 look at the rubrail on the H2 look as it sweeps down at the back while the yellow boat stays level

    in pics 3 and 4 look at the crown in the deck of a H and the flatness of the yellow boat

    in pics 5 and 6 look at the rub rail across the transom the H3 is flatter than mine but still has an arch the yellow boat seems flatter

    I agree Matty.

    So, you think this is a splash vs. homemade deck on a St. T?

    HIN: 511240474

    didn't think a HIN would shed much light. I did search the boards and it seems a company down under had some kind of agreement to make/sell a donzi model in 16 and 19 feet the co. was called Admiral Donzi don't know if that sheds much light either.

    A lot of details make me think that's a 1-off, home built deck design. Gets my vote.

    If that's a molded glass deck , which it sure looks like , that's one heck of a lot of work to make a one off .
