Plywood speedboat, but what is it?

Saw it on eBay, went and bought it on a whim, just wondered if anyone had any idea of what it is.

Possibly built in a garden, but I did find some markings under the paint... See the pretty pics..

It looks like a Sabre, but someone else here may have a better idea. How long is it?

Not a Sabre, not enough beam.

The pic I had got lost, but looks very similar to the 11 foot version that used to be in the Basildon Museum, the one with the 50s 18hp Johnson...
