MegaByte Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Here's some pictures of my first boat. A Pilot International 520 that I had in the late 80's. Bought as a wreck as it had been on the rocks and had a large hole in the hull.

suzook12 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Interesting pictures, I have a Trident version of this that's a work in progress. Interesting to see yours has the same floor bearers, mine had all broken up as very little thickness to them with no core. They were also very poorly bonded to the hull. Now the weather is warming up, must get started on it again. Couple of motorbike projects to get finished up, then back to the boaty stuff.

I owned it in partnership with another guy, the partnership didn't work (do they ever). We kept it in holes bay then sold to a chap. Within a few weeks of him owning it there was a storm and the front bollard/cleat pulled out, she then ended up on the rocks on holes bay road Geoff and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold it to a chap in the Channel Islands. Edited November 1, 2023 by MegaByte Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
