Hi Everyone,

 I bought this lovely boat last year and trying to identify what make and model she is - probably circa 1960s with a concrete hull and has an inboard Perkins Diesel engine.  I was told by the seller that historically she has been moored at the Norfolk Broads.  She has a closed front.  Her name is Lillian but cannot find any record of her.

Can anyone please help?

Hi Ste welcome to the forum,  my brother had a boat at B Bridge the long and winding road from Brandesburton can you still see the bottom of the river

Thanks Seagypsy, yes still very clear all the way up to North Froddingham - it’s so peaceful too 😴

I would have a good look on the bottom of drawers, bunk boards, removable cupboard bottoms etc.

If she was a broads hire boat at some point and there is original furniture still fitted you can often find identity marks on bits and bobs. The reason for this is that boats were stripped out over the then much harsher winters and everything stored away in the boatyard. To stop a hundred or so drawers etc getting mixed up they all had their relevant boats identity on them.

These days the winters are much kinder and boats much drier inside so it's no longer a problem

Awesome thanks, I’m going to the mooring tomorrow so will get my magnifying glass 🔍 out 👍

That's looking like a Windboats 26 seacrete hull with a unique top to me.

Thank you, I have no registration numbers unfortunately unless you can tell me where to locate them on a Windboats?

Thanks Ian, I stumbled across boating when stopping smoking, I bought a little cabin cruiser to renovate on the front drive at home to keep my hands busy and mind distracted and it worked 👍 I found a mooring at Bethels Bridge Boating Club in East Yorkshire and was hooked 🎣.

Within weeks I part-ex’d my boat for this current 28 foot live-aboard little gem.  Love the relaxing new hobby and looking to further educate and enjoy a new healthier pursuit.  Love the new boat 🚤 which needs sympathetic aesthetic restoration but she’s in a safe pair of hands, now I’m part of a supportive forum of like-minded people.
