Thought We needed a place to drop General Messages on Boat locations so we dont "wonder off the beaten track" on some threads (Guilty as Charged i'm afraid). Edited by Jim |

This was sort of what I was getting at with the "boats" thread, so people could add boats they'd found or knew of and maybe a new topic started if sufficient interest was found? Didn't really work but hey, I tried!

Hi All New Question! Were any ST's 48 foot (If it Is a ST?) and the same design as the 41 ft hull? Don, Spoke to the previous Owner.... Says the Hull was in good order! The Hull, He said has a position for a Third Prop in the hull floor, He Thinks she was a ST or a Navy Launch of some kind, he gave me pictures of her when he had her. I will scan and post! Regards Jim. Edited by Jim |

Hi Jim Looks like she could've been post-war JS White-built Admiralty FMB;what do you know about her?There were some wartime-built BPB craft of this approximate size,but I must admit I don't see the similarity,for starters the stem curves the wrong way (chine to deck)and the entry is too fine.When was she built?What is her beam?How many engines?Is she on a brokers page?Tell us more! Regards,Christian Edited by Christian |

I edited in a pic of an FMB sold recently,I don't think she's a sister,the sides flare out on "your" boat and on "mine" they are straight.Hmmmm.... Re Basra MTBs-Is your mate allowed to take pics of that kind of thing? Edited by Christian |
