Glenlivet Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 A bit of a long shot but does anyone know of a boat building company called Custom Mouldings who were based in Haverfordwest? I've just bought a Seahawk 17 which was built by them but the phone number I got from a web search belongs to a hair salon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iano Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Some of the links in this might be of help: http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=6065 Contacting the national association is always a good way to get data like that, they are usually very friendly and very enthusiastic.

Nice link, thanks- Only problem is mine's a motorboat! I don't think the Seahawk pictured would take kindly to 60 ponies on the back...

Glenlivet Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Mobos - the sailing equivalent of semis! Think mine might be more of a Mossberg 8 shot pump! Should run at 30 odd knots -))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Have you tried companies house? May well no longer be in business. Fishing/boat forum may be a better bet...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Have you tried companies house? May well no longer be in business. Fishing/boat forum may be a better bet......They may well have ceased trading, a lot of these smaller builders have. I might try the world sea fishing forum, I just thought that there might be someone local in here who knows/knew of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I bought it off eBay but second hand from a private individual. The one off the bay was wanting 50% up front, should of realized it was dodgy when i kept messaging him to say i would drive down and collect.However they kept demanding that i needed to pay 50% (£3k)before traveling down.Any how i told them i would need to see the boat 1st and pay/collect that day.All went dead and never heard another thing. Ended up buying form Highlander boats, went to view it, picked my colour/trim/trailer/motor ect, paid deposit and collecting April 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested in a boat on boatsandoutboards which seemed to be a fantastic deal. Messaged several times but no reply, then the ad disappeared. Maybe a lucky escape, if it looks too good to be true....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
