See here;

Built from 1910 onwards, they originally served on HMS's Bristol, Gloucester, Glasgow, Liverpool and Newcastle.

For less than £4000 you get a lot of boat with a lot of history- interesting to see she still has her fish-tail rubbing strakes and roundels on the bow for the parent ship's badge.

That would be a lot of fun to own and restore to steam.. too bad shipping would be a pain.

Shipping??? It's seaworthy and has a motor, sounds like an adventure!

If only I had the money, space, time...
I've got the vehicle, just need the boat.
