Wooden Ships Comments on this 19′ Fast Harbour Launch
Built in 2013 by the current owner using plans from a 1920’s Motor Boat Manual for a general duties harbour launch.
She has a planing hull with a 135hp petrol engine that gives her in excess of 25 knots, but she will also trickle along at low rpm with little wash.
A large spacious open cockpit with seating fore and aft makes her a comfortable day boat.
Recently sea trialed and tested to prove all systems are in working order. She comes with a road trailer in good condition.
