Sharland Four Stroke
According to a 1934 'Motor Boat' magazine, the 347cc Sharland was available in 15, 17 or 21hp, but the big question is - how can you tell them apart? I'm guessing the compression ratio could be different and/or different carburettors and maybe different gearbox ratios. Does anybody have any literature or are there any Sharland owners who could clarify this.

Re: Sharland Four Stroke
That is some toy Ferrier!
If that prop goes walkabout, I've probably got it.
That's a lot of motor, your a fortunate boy!
I hope your good fortune continues & you find other owners.
Wasn't there one in the Salcombe bunker?

Re: Sharland Four Stroke
Thanks for that Charles.
Whilst there were a couple of race motors at Bolt Head, Salcombe, there wasn't one of these. This one had apparently been on display for a short period at the Motor Boat Museum, Basildon.

Maybe I saw that one & assumed it ended up in the bunker.
I surveyed all their Marstons a couple of years before they closed & must have seen it there.
