Hi
its 22ft fiberglass and has a Perkins inboard diesel engine, going to go with blue antifoul ( as I got the tin with the boat ) keeping the white and painting the wood rails black and the steel rail round the front of the boat silver. Got the two pieces of floor laid today then a bit more sanding to do then get on painting, should get it back on to the river mooring about the 2cnd week in April ready to go.

Hi all
called the boat Jantiger - my wife was born in January and she loves tigers. The crew had other plans as it was a spur of the moment thing, but they are out on Thursday with me.
