AAA Marine on the Isle of Wight have had this Itchen Ferry on their books for a while.

I had a look at her (from the ground) last June and she was in a pretty sorry state then. I noticed the other day that the price on the web site has dropped to £2K (from £4.5K) so I dare say someone is getting desperate. I have a feeling that she is not worth half that but she is a beautiful shape (the doghouse would have to go in the skip) and it would be sad to see her chopped up which presumably could happen. If I had somewhere to put her for the several years that are needed, I would be tempted myself, even if only to get a decent cover over her and slow further decay. But I don't.
So this post is a bit of wishful thinking that there will be someone out there in forum land who will take pity on her.
