Hi all, wondering if anyone here might recognise my boat and help me figure out what model / manufacturer it is.

My parents gifted her to me this year after owing her for about 25 years, running her out of Millport on the Clyde. I'm now running her now from Largs Yacht Haven, really happy with her but keen to find manufacturers' specs and maybe some history if I can. My parents bought her from a local resident in Millport and never found out her type or history.

She's approx 5m long, and about 350kg empty without engines. I've got 25hp on the back which feels a little underpowered when I carry any passengers, but I wouldn't want to push her too hard without any knowledge about what she was designed for.

I wondered if it might be related to the Marina 16 GT as the cockpit area and front windows are very similar, but different shaped hull sides and two window panes in each side so I guess not...

Very grateful for any thoughts!

Thanks @racerone - I guess so, she's been much loved and used... Is this the best forum for my question or do you think there's a better one?

Looks a lot like this 1960 Dorsett Catalina cuddy cabin.
