Must admit I thought this had Seamaster'ish lines but not at all sure. Any ideas??

Home or yard built fit-out on a Seamaster 813 hull and superstructure?

Hard to tell as the angle of the shot does not show the bow clearly which would identify it for sure.

Poor excuse, Clive!

I think you can rule out a Seamaster 813 hull as the Boat Listing has it as a 21 footer:

Escape - Length : 6.4 metres ( 21 feet ) - Beam : 2.02 metres ( 6 feet 8 inches ). Grp hull colour : Blue, Superstructure colour : White
Powered by a Single Outboard Petrol engine with a power of 25 HP. Registered with the Broads Authority number 617G as a 0 Motor Private Motor Boat. ( Last updated on Saturday 18th July 2015 )


Unfortunately, it doesn't show the builder's name.

Keep trying!

Too lazy to check Fred, maybe a Senior hull? Can't find anything on them to check the old range. Memory isn't what it was and too much happening here right now.

Good suggestion Clive, but not a Senior 20 hull (as in 2nd pic) as far as I can see.

It's got me beaten so far but let's all keep trying.

Got to say Fred that this one has annoyed me, the more so as I cannot match it either.

That Boat Listing says it is slightly narrower beam than a Norman 20 and a tad longer.

Yet when I look at it it does look a lot bigger than a narrow beam 21 ft boat so I wonder if the numbers given the Broads Authority are wrong?

To me it looks like a lot larger boat, and the rake of the bow, the way the chines hit the stem in the top 1/3, the angle of the cabin front (ignoring the wooden wheelhouse) says to me about 8'6" beam at least and 24 feet long. So apart from the fact that they had a more rounded and bluff bow Seamaster 24, but it looks like there might be spray rails moulded in under the chines, the foredeck has a reverse sheer like Selcruiser used to have so built for more speed than the usual canal chuggers - oh, I give up!

I hate you Trevor, I got a head-ache now! hahaha

I echo nearly everything you say, Clive, as I've had many of the same thoughts ........ except for hating Trevor, of course.
