Does anyone (Leomagil???) know where to find the hull # on Seniors 31s?
I've still got no further in identifying my boats past, all I've got to identify it by at present is its previous broads number which on a norfolk broads craft database gives me a former name Pilgrims Way around 1998, and hand written writing on one of the old props giving a possible name of Broads Chaplain (although there is a broads chaplain as in person, so could be previous owner as opposed to previous name).
I was given a lead by a friend who had a Senior that was exactly the same fit out as mine, Including the different position for the windows and all the tongue and groove boarding that Brightwater has, and this was built at a yard called Dobsons of Shardlow and they apparently built 5 Senior 31s of the same style.
However just to be helpful, the previous owner of Dobsons yard took all the documentation when he sold the firm to the current owners and vanished. Thus leading me back to a dead end.
Anyone on here have any tips or tricks for trying to identify old boats? I'm going to attempt contacting the broads authority to see what history i can glean from them with the broads reg number.
But of than that I'm stuck at a loose end...
