webntweb Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 It was originally from a Northern riverfront boatyard and brand new in 1985/6, but it was moulded in the South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webntweb Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 And here's a pic showing the porthole. It's in the twin cabin in which the beds go under the cockpit - pretty claustrophobic. When the canopy is back the porthole is completely hidden except for a tiny part of the chrome surround. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
