Just at a glance the hull may predate 1900 with the cabin added in the 20's or 30's.. More photos of the construction details tell the full story. Bruce Kirby did some cool boats as did Phill Bolger.

PaulinVictoria 101 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Punting works very nicely for flat bottom boats in shallow water, quite different from sculling though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, when you see so many boats like this one that have that je ne sais quoi look about them, I wonder if there are companies that will provide that look for you, the seller of your dream boat.

I think that's what the handles are for. You drag it around. I'm not sure why you do, which may be why it's for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
