BPB Yard Number 1762

Don, from the photo the wheelhouse addition seems to have good quality windows, can you re-use them (turned upside-down) on the replica original? They look about the right size. It also looks generally in good shape, if you don't re-use the windows, and cut it off in one piece, you may be able sell it on e-bay for someone else's project!

Hi Christian,

I'll try to get the cabin off in one piect. The only thing I need from it is the Kent screen.

I haven't checked exactly but it seems that only the 8 oval cabin side windows will work. They are about 2 inches longer than the originals but I think I'll have to use them as I've nothing else.

She's missing a lot

Props, engines/boxes, wheel and pretty much all original fittings. I'll have to go to a boatjumble.

Anyone know of a good one?

Regards

Don

Anyone know what props are needed for a 41'6" widebeam ST?
Thanks

Hello again,

the ST on ebay (Robert) has 140HP driving 16X16 props, it does not say what 'boxes she has and she is 39feet which would not make much difference.

Hi All,

Bought a Bedford QLB to tow the little ST around (subject to Health and Safety, DVLA licensing, the phase of the moon, blah, blah) next summer. Well that's the plan anyway. The long and the short of it is that ST365 ( EX-ASR) is available to a good home for a break-even cost or a trade.

I bought her to save her as the owner was going to burn her (see this forum). I haven't the time to do her up and it's a shame to see her just sitting there.

I've got a pair of Ford 160+ HP TD engines/boxes that were running takeouts and in good condition. Turbos might need rebuilding but they are easy to come by.

Would trade up/down for a '39-'45 MOD vehicle or bike. Maybe a working mini-digger. I'm kind of interested in getting a DUKW or anything ambhibious and have a completely restored M21 and an original BSA A7 to add to the trade if interested.

If sold, I'll make a donation to BMPT. She's on Milweb too

It's a great chance to get your own boat.... I'l load her onto your trailer free!

Give me a call on 01842 829000 or pm me.

Cheers
Don

	Hi Don, Nice hoist! looks like a travel hoist without the engine or hydraulics to go wrong, a gantry and slings must be by far the best way to lift a wooden boat, well done!

	Thanks Clive. Took a month to build but will eventually be dismantled and part of the barn we'll build.

	Hi Don, props all depend on what HP your engines hav and also wether you have reduction 'boxes. another factor is how much room you have to swing a propellor before you hit the bottom of the boat.

	Thanks Clive... I was thinking of getting some S6m's but they are thin on the ground and mostly clapped out by now. I was wondering what the original props/boxes were. I have a brace of Ford 6 Cyl Turbo Diesels that should be about right and they have "selfchanging" gearboxes fitted. I'll look and see if the ratio is mentioned under the rust. Cheers
