I am pretty sure that Misty Willow was opposite us at Broadsedge in the 'new bit' a few years back.

I am pretty sure it's this one

The 2005 picture  is the same as the one on the Ebay advertisement.

Don`t know how much you paid however did notice it was up for £7k then reduced to £5k so as long as it is sound and passes the BSC you should be ok in my limited experiance.

The engine mentioned is probably the 1.5 BMC (37hp?) so parts are easy to source for a service.

That was a picture on the ad as you say but it turns out is not the same boat

That's not a Hampton Safari.... it's one of many similar craft built on a Classic 27 hull. There is a thread about them on here somewhere but, sadly, I don't have the skills to delve back and link it.

I think yours may well be a more distinctive Summercraft build

Thank you, I think you're right

• My Hampton safari mark3 was sold to me as a Bounty, built @ Benson in the 70’s as a hire boat for the River Yonne, it was brought back in the 90’s fitted with a nannidisal Engine& hydronic propulsion, so it has huge gas fuel & water capacity, it was revealed as a Hampton on this site, built like a brick outhouse, & moored on the upper reaches of the Thames, it is our solace in these wacky times..
