Billabong

I bought that boat in 1989 as a shell with an engine (Dorman Ricardo 4dsm ) was previously named Horace, the boatman’s cabin was built by Jim Forster at kegworth a very talented man, I did the fit out and cruised most of the available midland network, great boat I did lots of work on the engine which dated from 1948 and came from a Royal Navy cutter the engine was originally painted navy blue but I decided that Brunswick green would be more in keeping with its use in a narrow boat, very sad to see my lovely engine in a skip.

Do you know if this Dorman 4dsm came out of a Gary Gorton tug Named Wotan ?
