Hi,

Could the more knowledgeable folks here please give me the pros and cons on a 1979 Miller & Whitworth 40?

Thank you kindly.

1973 design, modified for the production run by Anderson Bros. from about 1975. Not many made. A 1979 one would have been a late build. Very quick for their day, especially downwind; custom versions won the '73 and '75 Hobarts. They had much cleaner lines than the typical early '70s boats.

PS - if you are looking at the green one please add in the cost of a new prop - three bladed fixed props are for powerboats only!

Thanks for posting Chris. Good to know.

Ps...not looking at the green one currently advertised.
