Broker's Comments

Ignore the colour of the hull and take a good look at the woodwork on this delightful little day launch from the 50's. Wood Carvel construction using Iroko on oak. This would be the ideal little boat to get your nostalgic juices flowing. She needs a good deal of TLC but the boat itself is solid. The hull looks good as are the topsides. The original engine sits proudly under the forward deck hatch.Don't get me wrong, she will need lots of love and attention but what a rewarding little boat this will be. Certainly a head turner with lots of history and tales to tell if only she could!!
You might need to be quick before the Broads Museum at Stalham snap her up!
