Russell,

' Sorry mate, all spent up now    :} '

I know the feeling, just now at least!!

Still, it can only get better.

This Lifeboat for sale on ebay had a tragic past after leaving RNLI service. It was being used to smuggle drugs, when Customs went on board,  
one of the Customs Officers lost his life. See the full story at the link below.

A sad end to the life of the boat, I wonder what the old crew think of her current situation and past? Shame she can't be rescued and returned to her former glory, never know might win the lottery, I'd buy her and get her restored. Dave.  {:-{

In which case it's not the original superstructure for the boat anyway, as the original was partially destroyed when customs nabbed her.

I think I heard somewhere that it had another Solents/Oakleys superstructure grafted on (Ican probably find out which if anybody's really desperate to know...  %) )
