Buster was purchased 4 years ago. Her shipwright owner “set too” on replacing the wheelhouse and opening up the accommodation below.
Unfortunately, due to ill health he has had to abandon the project with everything has been left in situ…
Built by Watt’s & Sons in 1964. A robust wooden hull and decks.
Used for pot fishing, offering, comfy accommodation below and a large wheelhouse to shelter form the worst of the elements.
There is a Gardner 4LW diesel engine installed aft and under the wheel house. She would make a fantastic cosy little home afloat.
She certainly requires some skills in carpentry, in order to make the project a viable one.
Please Note: the You Tube video included in these details, was filmed over 4 years ago before she came to Essex from Newcastle.
