Can you ID this hull?

 Hi,    

   I was wondering if someone could identify this hull? It is boat coded in WA starting with AU-TWA, the TWA part should identify the manufacturer but I' having no luck tracking that thru a google search. The hull is approximately 4.7m long and 2m wide, it has a shallow tunnel running the full waterline length of the hull. 

 

If it is identified, what are they like? Quality, ride, stability and horsepower?

 

Thanks

 

Josh

 just means it has had a boatcode plate fitted to it, its to old to have manufacturer as part of hin number. Cant say i have ever seen a similar hull but being 4.7mtr i would look for approx 70hp 2-stroke or 50hp 4-stroke depending on transom strength. Interesting shape on the hull, i would be interested to see how it would handle.

Looks like a boat that was build in Bayswater? a great many years ago.

They did build other models as well

Cannot for the life of me (suffer from CRAFT:)) remember the name of the company 

edit   Glasscraft.

There is a member on here who lives south of the river who has got another one that was build by his father who worked at the factory.

Hopefully he will react and indentify.

I believe they are great boats with that tunnel design from what he told me.

 Thanks for the input so far guys, sounds like a prospect for a project boat then. I've seen the little tunnel before but not sure where or on what. Fingers crossed someone can give me the correct ID to chase down details.
