I\'ve bought another one!!

About a year ago I came across a mid 30's built 23 motor boat, built by Hubert Scott Paine at British Power Boat Company, its had extensive repairs to the hull and a new deck but is devoid of any other fittings like engine or steering etc.

Anyway, after a long period of procrastination I made a call and the net result is I collected her last night.

I'll post some photos after the weekend.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of a Napier Lion engine or has any knowledge of Sea Panther or Sea Arrow please let me know.

Re: I\'ve bought another one!!

You are a brave man! but then you have skills I don't have.

Just a thought, someone posted ages ago looking for old engine & gearbox stuff (can't remember exactly what), and I suggested that it might be worthwhile talking to the guys at BMPT as they had loads of contacts. He PM'd back a month or so later saying that they had found the stuff for him - might be worth a shot - those guys have a lot of contacts.

Shame to see they haven't found a home!
