Yet another of the Lesro range of boats, again one of the lesser seen ones, but being very 'scale', I had to try and add one to my fleet.

It looks like this particular one of your two Sportman Classic Model Power Boats only needs taking to some local water with a set of charged batteries to get you back afloat again quickly Will 👍

I suppose the real joy of restoring a Classic Model Power Boat is knowing that you have saved another one to live another day!
Recycling at its finest 👍 Bob. ▲

Ah, but think of the pleasure you'll get from finishing a restoration of a boat, and getting it's bottom wet for the 1st time 😊 not that I'd know that feeling, not with model boats anyway.
I guess almost anyone can buy a new kit and build it, but not everyone can rescue a project, make it good again, and get enjoyment from using it at the end. Will ▲

You're not selling the restoration route to me Bob! 🤣
More elements of the Sprite can be seen in this one. ▲

This Sportsman and your other Sportsman shows me how the cabin fits onto the hull - much better and more tidy than mine that has been botched.
……did I mention how much easier and quicker it would be to build a new kit? Restoring old Classic Model Power Boats can be very soul destroying when a new kit is available that can be build properly in less than half the time . Bob. ▲

Sadly for me Will, a second one has not come along for me yet…………
But when it does, I hope it will need a lot less work than the one that I have found recently ! Bob. ▲
