Does anyone know more about this boat? Looks like it could be a hull that has never been fitted out.

I think this is the boat Phillip Haynes used to own (of Haynes and Hellyer fame). If it is, it was built in the late 70's and was never used/fitted out. It was for sale in NSW about 5 or 6 years ago, set up as a front seater with a cell and it came with a nice big tilt trailer. It was advertised for around the 12k mark I think
I'd be interested to know if it actually is 24' long as the listing says, because it doesn't really look it.
Wickens designs seem to be damn fast! A 14ft wickens hydro appeared at Bundy Thunder last year and it was really impressive for a boat of its size
