A couple of years ago I got sensible and decided to chang from my beloved Flether GTO speedboat to a more practical sports fisher and boat myself an old 16ft Teal with a Yam F50 outboard.
Since then I have not really seen much information about these boats except that I think they were built in the 70s and you could get them in at least either 16ft or 22ft length. They seem to have been as popular back then as Warriors and Quiksilvers are now (in the UK anyway), and there are still a lot of them about.
Does anyone have any information about them, or know if there is an owner's website etc as I would love to know more about the history of the boat (where it was made, what year, model variations/specs/weight etc).
Here's a link to a pic of mine so you know what I am on about - if you live in the UK then the chances are you've seen these in local harbours as there are loads of them here on the Isle of Man for starters!
Thanks!
Jim
