New member owner of a Simmonds ski boat in Spain

[Daniel]

Hello everyone, I'm very happy to find a group of people who love old speedboats. I'm from Madrid, my eldest daughter and I are currently restoring a Simmonds from scratch. I hope you can help us with some information that we do not have. thank you very much in advance.

Hi and welcome Daniel.

By far the best contact is 'Thumper' who is a friend of ours and runs a great website:

I know a bit about Simmonds speedboats, but he is the expert. Which model do you have, the Alloy of Fibreglass hull version and what engine is in it?

If I cannot help I have a couple of other contacts who might be able to help. Best of luck BN

I spoke to them and they referred me to you. The hull of the boat is completely made of aluminum, it has a 1703cc Ford Consul engine mounted with two 40mm double-mouth Weber carburetors for each mouth. The complicated thing is the lack of information about the transmission ratio and diameters, pitch, etc. of the propeller. It would be helpful to know this data to manufacture one or find a replacement for machining its original shaft. thank you
