It is a few years since I have seen either of these boats so my observations may be a little dated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_fincher Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I may have my boats completely mixed up, but was Dabchick an LMS boat? If so, could this be it? (The right hand one of the "historics") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat on the left in you photograph is the F.M.C. Ltd. motor TROUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been put into pretty good order externally, I would say. Here is another of Trout. Both pictures from exactly a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
