    no idea!  Bought her without seeing her!  not the best idea with a wooden boat but couldn't resist and know the chap who had her so pretty sure it ain't a pig in a poke, seems to be pretty solid, suffered more from drying out of the water than anything

    which one is yours? how big?  what engine?

    she has no engine at present so looking for suggestions there, and has no rigging/masts either

    No, the panser is still here, sat in the snow and ice

    this one I can work on at home and is small enough so I can cart it about on a trailer

    just got a bit more info emailed...

    Built in Peterhead in 1904 it was bought by the Cordiner family in 1911 and moved to Boddam, owner by Archie Cordiner, where it remained until John maclean bought it in 2005.

    was working until the late 90's still, small lines etc, and looks like it was in the same family since 1911!
