This convinces me that my marauder is the worst restoration attempt known to mankind.
I'm failry sure the floorboards are not plywood (we have ply ones in the club boats) I will have a look when I'm there tomorrow. We definitely thought them worth saving at the time, even though we didn't know what we were saving them for. I am just outside Cambridge. |

She looks old. What is she?
Why would you want to take the keels off for?
