JawsOrca Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi Lori, From what I remember after seeing these at the boat show a few years back.. Sea otter is the company.. they specialised in (or still do perhaps) aluminium boats.. i'm sure they did "work boats" as well as narrow boats.. although I believe they moved to focus just on narrow boats. If the boat is on the canal (and being quite long) I'd bet its a narrow boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The Sea Otter company did build some cruisers about 15 years ago and I believe on was a centre cockpit. They were aircraft grade aluminium with water ballast. I think they did experience a few financial problems and now concentrate on narrow boats but still of aluminium rather than steel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
