Senior Marine was a prominent British (English) boat builder of Southampton, Hampshire during the 1960s and early 1970s.
They manufactured three glass fibre (GRP) hull mouldings, these being:
- Senior 23 [1]
- Senior 26
- Senior 31
Senior Marine hull mouldings were also sold to a number number of other boat builders, common examples being: The Eastwood 24 an open plan estuary come sheltered coastal water motor boat more often than not fitted with a BMC 1500cc diesel engine, The RLM 27 [2], the ever popular Princess 32 [3] (often seen on the River Thames even to this day), the Project 31 [4] and the RLM 32 Entice [5].
Senior Marine manufactured hulls and fitted out boats were considered solid, sturdy boats whereas the likes of the Eastwood 24, RLM 27 and Princess 32 variants were more for the inland water market where many can still be seen today.
Most (if not all) of their boats (hulls) were fitted with inboard engine(s) with out-drives (the Perkins 4107 and 4108 (50hp) diesel engines were the engine of choice for most boat builders and were coupled to single or twin Enfield Stern Drive(s) these are also referred to as 'Z' Drives.
