Tremlett Sea Shell Open

Interesting open version of the Sea Shell. Never seen one before now, but it goes well with the Chrysler...

Hi
I've got one of these running a 90hp 2-stroke with, I think, an original centre consol and has raced at 47 mph. It was originally owned by Peter(?) the Tremlett Sales Manager in the 70's(?). Chris added a transom well on it in the 90's.
Maybe surprisingly, with its very low bow entry, it is a great sea boat and with a bit of dextrous throttling can be kept dry and fast in large seas, but if mine does flood, usually due to unexpected wash and soon empties - battery etc. are above water level. I describe it as a 'Rib without tubes' and it does get appreciative comments on its design/look. I would consider parting with it.
