Thank you Sam Springer

Has anyone seen a well-maintained Springer narrowboat with 'Thank you Sam Springer' signwritten on the sides? I saw it a little while back, can't remember where or when now, but I wanted to find it again and contact the owner. I'm putting together an article about boaters loyal to boatbuilders. 

Thanks 

Andrew

Thanks, I know I snatched a photo of it somewhere not long ago, but can't remember where; I have so many photos but needle in a haystack to find the relevant pic. I'm charmed by the enthusiasm of various boatbuilder supporters, rather like, say, Morris Minor fan clubs. 

 

Fox Boats is another with fans.

In the early days of Sea Otter aluminium boats all the boat owners were very loyal to Ray  and Cindy Shepherd who owned the company. They used to exhibit at IWA festivals etc and the owners turned up en mass and spoke to folk interested in a sea otter. Sadly when  Ray and Cindy retired the sales were taken over by a marina and they didn't seem to want the owners being part of the sales pitch
