    Aquired this boat some time ago I take it its some form of kit deck fitings have the look of a home made one 7.4 volt
    I have since found out in the late 1950s Richmond boats made models of there actual Cabin crusiers for there customers children 24 was made in all so in every thing a bit of history boat story comes out

    Apparently there has been a spate of thefts from out buildings in the west so far 15 boats have been stolen seems they are only after motor vessels best make sure your outdoor model rooms are secure, and of course well photographed for insurance

    Sounds an odd subject but at a recent model show that I was at went up there with she who must be obeyed and lost one wife not very tolerant to boats, Then she met up with like wise suffering wives,then came back all rather tolerant of the hobby is it a omen or a fluke?
