Converted Fishing Vessels

Just floated her tonight after a paint up.
Thought she deserved a good sanding down and a good undercoat.
Wasn't sure about the black topstroke and line but I think it looks ok

    Hi Dave, she was built by Tony and Les Goodall in 1973 for two brothers in Staithes, but they did'nt have her long and she was sold to, I think Berwick, and then to Sunderland.
    I bought her in Hartlepool and brought her down here.  She had a bloody awful wheelhouse on her when I got her but she is more or less in her original state.
    Still has the Lister HRW2 30 horse in her but I have put a PRM 260 gearbox in her.
    Cheers
    Bob

    Excellent Job, Bob,
                                   Looking at Dave -D's picture I can see what you meant by the awful wheelhouse,
    (Shed builders should not be allowed to own cobles   ;)    ).     8:)
