Hi,

I am new to boating (if you don't count some time with Her Majesty's
Grey Funnel Line Reserves!) and have recently bought an early 1960's
16ft Owens speedboat. I need to do some work on it before putting it
back in the water next year, but would love to get hold of any
information that would help me with restoring it to at least some of
it's former glory. I have searched the web and can find very few
references to this type of boat; Owens was a north American company
well known for building wooden hulled motor yachts and latterly went
into smaller GRP hulls before collapsing. They also built minesweepers
for the USN somewhere along the line: and that is about all I know,
none of which is particularly helpful!

So, if anyone can shed any light on this particular craft for me I will
be very grateful.

Thanks,
Graham
