After 5 years we are selling our Winkle Brig, one of a small handful built as motor launches, which has been mentioned on this forum before.
She's finished with all wood top sides and interior, and powered by a Dolphin II 12hp inboard petrol engine, seats up to 7 adults comfortably and is very economical to run.
Currently out of the water on a new trailer at Chertsey, Surrey.
We're looking to sell with or without the trailer, offers in the region of £4500 for the two, or £3500 for the boat only.
For full details and photographs, or to arrange a viewing call me, Graham, on 07517 685925, or email gk.studio7@gmail.com

I think I may be the owner of the boat mentioned above, I can't be sure as the link no longer works but we bought her shortly after the original post, found her through the Boats and Outboards website, and bought her from the owner at a boatyard in that area so it's quite likely the same one.
Ours is called Willard and is kept at our house on the Thames at Chertsey. She has a Dolphin II 12hp inboard engine and is a great little boat, reliable and very economical and easily seats up to 8 adults. I'm building a bigger boat and we bought her when we moved here to give us something to use until that one is finished. She's a pretty little thing and I've lost count of the offers I've had to buy her, usually when we've just pulled up at a riverside pub on a sunny afternoon!
She's currently undergoing a bit of restoration work at the bottom of my garden, much of the original seat framing having rotted away and needing replacement, something I was aware of when we bought her but I knew I could easily do myself.
She'll be back on the river in a few weeks, I can post some photos if anyone's interested?
