Ooooh , very grand theft auto !
Ouch. 
I was thinking it may be a tiller operated rigid, maybe even console operated, but not one like that. Having said that if the trim and tilt works then just washing the boat out may save most of it.
Why did it sink? Just too much water inboard or a hole?

Wow that thing looks awesome
So all you need to replace is the engine? What about electronics and stuff inside, wont they be all screwed up? And the seats?
Many thanks... she was a tip when I bought her, and spent many hours doing her up!!!
We had a bad storm this morning, she was on her mooring, bounced up and down over waves (North Westerly wind i think), picked up a lot over a particuarly big wave, water got into the stern. Next time it happened, was heavier at the back and more water got in.. a few of those, and she'd then go down like the titanic!
The hull looks sound, can't see any cracks. Engine will probably be screwed or not financially viable to repair, was under a good few hours. Ignition box, throttle, battery, pump, dials, possibly wiring will all be screwed. Hopefully the steering is all ok though, seats should be fine with a good clean and dry out
Oh, and fantastic photoshop
Anyone else fancy doing one? Someone's printed a copy of the photo and is in the local island pub on the noticeboard... i'll add the Wilson one to it tomorrow

Thread delivered. And that's a nice looking boat you got there, hope it's ok.
Woah that's a really nice boat, I feel bad for mocking now because for some reason I thought you had some sort of row boat.
Glad you were able to save it.

i thought it was a small rowing boat type vessel but actually is a nice lil speedboat, unlucky man you must have been whaling your eyes out.

but seriously tho sorry about your boat

Ok guys, I think we should put this one to bed now.
Hope all is well tres, I too didn't realise what a nice boat you had; thought it was some pappy wooden row-boat
Still, only 70 horse on the back? Pffft, you always need at least 100 +
