Folding boat (large download)

[Hugz]

Might have to do a bit of strengthening to take a forty and also need to have an extended tiller.

That's a Tern on the back not a Seagull!

Hugo please remember this is a Seagull site!

[Hugz]

Gee... I only bought it as I thought it was a seagull. Do Terns and Seagulls cohabitate?

Where's the Tern site?

[Hugz]

Apart from the fact I bought it from an old chap who purchased it in the sixties I would say the other way around. Treated canvas.

That is a real find, Hugz. It's got a whole lot more class than a Folbote. It's a great candidate for an electric trolling motor, since wear from vibration might be more of a problem than a bit of thrust. Will you leave the paint scheme as is? Does it have some sort of significance?

[Hugz]

Psychedelic sixties paint scheme! Matches the inside of my sixties van! Charles graciously shared his wisdom with me in adding a longitude thwart attached to the transom and the two existing thwarts. Will give me a more forward seating position as well as strengthening the back. I find the forties vibrate less.
