Which Shetland model is this?

[WriterCJ]

Hi all -- great forum!

Just getting into boating, and have a little Shetland 17ft (ish) day boat that I'm going to use for fishing / day trips around the West Cork coast in Ireland.

My question is: which Shetland model is she?

Originally I thought she was a 535 or 536, but now I'm not so sure. None of the pics I've seen of Shetland boats online show the three window configuration (with centre hatch) on the front of the cabin.

There's a pic of her here.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Calvin!

That's assuming, of course, it is a Shetland.

Was bought on a whim at a car auction by my Dad years ago. Docket from the auction house says it's a Shetland, but that could be wrong.

Open to suggestions .

Cheers,

Calvin!

Is there a hill identification number on there ??? maybe starboard side at the stern ??

Not actually a Shetland at all, so what is it?

Haven't been able to find a plate or hull ID no... but will check again on the starboard side stern next time I'm down at the boat (she's moored on the water at the moment).

I've discovered (thanks to Shetland Boats for their prompt e-mail reply) that it is NOT in fact a Shetland... so now completely clueless as to what she might be.

All suggestions / pointers welcome.

Cheers,

Calvin!
