Clinker-built wooden fishing boatFor sale - my late uncle's 22' wooden fishing boat. The boat has been out of the water for 2 years and therefore will require staunching. This is a boat for knowledgeable boating/fishing enthusiasts as it will take some effort to get her back into the water.My uncle was a keen fisherman and marine engineer. The boat was pulled up every winter, de-fouled, serviced and the boat was rubbed down and re-painted. It was in excellent condition and well looked after throughout the 38 years he owned her. The boat was basically his child - adored and loved. This is an ideal boat for dropping pots as has large deck area. It was also utilised for trolling, feathers as well as pleasure trips to the off islands in the Isles of Scilly.HistoryCommissioned in Christchurch ‘mid’ 1970’s and transported via road to Penzance. Currently resides with 2nd owners since 1975. Originally a Passenger Ferry, the late owner was a well-known Marine Engineer in St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly.
