Cheers pete. :)

The stickers on the hull says Orkney Fastliner 16 foot. Is it a displacement of semi-displacement type hull, can anyone tell from the pics?

Displacment hull - While called a fastliner I would reckon it would be like a 16' coastliner.
I'd say a grand boat but slow.

It's exactly what it says on the tin :wink:

There seems to be some myth that Orkney didn't make a Fastliner 16 which in fact they did here's a couple of examples for sale
