Hi Jim,

Similar really - although connoseurs mmay mock me. The impression I get is that the one in Bracknell is a glass hull with a wood deck. This is good from the point of view of no rot, but could well be bad in so many other ways. I'd stick with the boat you've got. I can't wait to see it!

Is it grey?

yeah i think that is the best option to. yeah thats right its gray and now has a red triangle on the front i revarnished the decks last year and put new grip paint on it but is still very tatty but it had been sat at the bottom of a dingy park with a hole in the side of it befor i got it. and i think the fulse floor will stiffern it up nicely and make it a bit more crew frendly i as well as hiding the water stained floor haha.i will try and get some photos of progress up oh and if any one is local to oxford or reading and knows any were that sells marine ply it would save me having to order some to be diliverd thanks jim

False floor will make it heavy and I guess it's easy to to do badly. Best avoided I would think.
