Can anyone identify this small boat?

I snapped this boat on the Thames last week and wondered if anyone could identify the make/model of it?

I've messaged the distributor of the outboard motor that was powering it, but they've drawn a blank.

The pair on it looked like they were having a right laugh!

Wow, you're good, that's got to be it, thanks very much! The one I saw was indeed powered by a Tohatsu outboard motor too, so I think solves it.

Thanks again!

They do look a hoot!

Obviously not the same but spotted this on eBay earlier:

Would be fun with a 30hp engine.

Not sure if posting eBay links is allowed, won’t be offended if this post is removed.

That video brings back memories of a Brighton Boat Show in the 1970s/80s and going for a ride in a 9ft Spitfire speedboat like this:

Every summer I see a massive chap in a hat taking his tiny boat for a spin, typically with a cigar on the go, like a boss. Spitting image of Belushi. We always exchange a hat dip.

Looks like fun but also very dangerous, years ago I used to race at LPRC, well take part in a handicapped race in a Fletcher ski boat (club rules to try and get the skiers into racing).

The T850 class was bloody dangerous, there were 2 deaths in my time at the club.


Once one of these goes over, if you don't fall out it'll snap your neck.
