Wooden Ships Comments on this Clifford Adams Motor Launch
Built by Clifford Adams of Looe as a passenger ferry running across Looe harbour. Built to commercial standards and operatred successfully until being sold into private ownership.
These Clifford Adams boats are known to be well built substantial launches and this is no exception. The very generous beam and bluff bows with good buoyancy make them excellent sea boats, stiff and stable while being able to take some chop.
Interestingly the engine is mounted very far aft in the boat, a feature built into her to make more space for paying passengers, but this is also a benefit as a private boat giving a large open space with seating around.
A good solid and substantial launch for sensible money. Flatbed triple axle trailer available by separate negotiation.
