History
Built by Bantock in 1898 as a joey day boat. Cut down in the 1950s and the back end re-riveted to include a swim. The unusual conversion was done by the Harris Brothers of bumble hole. Was potentially one of the last conversions of the time. Engine installed during this time. Full length oak cabin put in during the 1970s. Re-skinned with steel shortly after.
