Original Aerokits Sea Hornet

I had always admired the lines of 1950s American wooden runabouts and built this Aerokits model when I was an apprentice at Jaguar Cars and it had stayed in my loft since completion nearly 40 years ago. Recently dusted off and upgraded with a Graupner Speed 500 and Mtroniks 40Amp controller and P35 prop. Seen here at Knightcote Boat Club on 25 October

Just got my Sea Rover today as well as an Aerokits MTB with a lovely Taycol Double Special in it. I'd forgotten how twisted the Sea Rover is!!
It'll need some serious cutting and regluing aft. I need to remake the screen area and canopy. it has an original MFA Humming Bird 15 motor complete with the label.

That reminds me, has anyone got any plans or details to finish the MTB? it has only a basic few bits of superstructure.
Cheers,

Aerokits boat? with Merco 61 resto project

Can anyone tell me what boat this is?
I think its a modified Aerokits fire boat or Sea queen,
The deck is different because it steps down, the cabin looks to be modified, the hull is all fibre glass with wooden bulkheads.
Nice 10cc Merco engine.
Will upload more recent pics as the pics are from about 18 months ago, I've since started re building the boat to sail then in future sell.

About the fibre glass hull it looks to be ply with a thin coating of fibre glass.
It's roughly 34" long.
The guy who the boat used to belong to had a couple of aerokits boats as well as this one, he had a sea queen and another boat but I cant remember the model name.
from looking at other boats the only boat I can really compare it with is the sea queen.
I will be uploading the boat with or without the engine on ebay in the next couple of months, I have two merco 61 marine engines that will be on ebay soon.
