Can't really see it as it's obscured by that dirty GRP boat in front.

 

Seriously, some type of military landing craft?

Wot, no wings?

Was/is at Harefield Marina it has machine gun mounting on front, and I think it had 2 6cyl. petrol engines, russian or from somewhere over there. I heard the man bought it on ebay, it has its own towing bracket and wind up wheels for towing behind lorry. It is aluminium.

Not dissimilar to boats we used in the Falklands skirmish. Are you sure about Russian origin?

I like that!

 

Pull up at a marina, back it in the cut and cruise away!

 

Wonder how wide it is though!?

[John Williamson 1955]

Looks about 7 feet wide, but is very unlikely to be more than 8' 6" due to the rules on the roads.

[Athy]

It`s the most stable boat I`ve ever had.It has a cathedral hull,which is almost like a catamaran.Interior space is bigger than any other boat of it`s size.We absolutely love it.(It can also turn in it`s own length,so no need for winding holes).

We were down in Harefield looking at Malvern, and noticed this boat parked up in the yard. Thanks for letting us know what it is.
