ebay special!, seller had it as a Haines Hunter but it looks a bit different to the 17r, lower windscreen mostly

Not a seeker/haines hunter
We've got the 18' foot seeker, Bob reckons a good river boat? Don't know the make, maybe from the Eastern States?

But can't find any other haines that looks the same so far, mind you I am not complaining at the price I got it for!

Just got the Johnno going yehaaaah!
Now knowing absoltuely nothing about boats, I put the earmuffs on and cranked her after getting the starter motor rebuilt and she fired up straight away but I noticed a lot of water coming from the 1st join up from the prop on the leg, is that a seal or can I have something more serious to worry about??

Mine did that
I had an old Johnno 65 hp for 12 years it was a 76 model i got it in 88 and never had it serviced leaked from that spot all the time and it never skipped a beat apart from a fuel line splitting near the carby once............the moral of this story it'll probbaly go on forever like that
