Hi everyone,
I'm new on this forum.

I just addes a small aluminium boat to my garage.
This is a sort of barn find in a workshop near an old WW2 airfield.

Cannot identify anything, but from the steering wheel i suppose it's an early 40s boat.
The steering wheel itself remind me P-38 lightning and some other bombers from that era (could be a proper yoke and custom built apparently).

No engine but some rumors from the father of the previous owner says it was a Mercedes.

Anyone can help me?
Thanks!
Alessandro

If it did have a Mercedes in it, it makes even more intriguing. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
