HELLO FOLKS
ive recently joined the cmba as my hobby of collecting vintage outboards has steered me in this direction .
last year i joined the forum to test the waters as such to see if anyone had the same interests with amazing results with two notable member (chris and nick) who with their help steered me in the direction of finding some great motors to add to my new hobby. i was directed to a small collection of outboard motors and a lovely lady named hazel whom i purchased a number of her late husband engines .In conversation it was mentioned that she had an old boat for sale ,at this point i was not looking for a boat but when i recieved some pictures i immediately fell in love with it so a deal was done .
im sure some of you here are well familiar with this craft so i will start with sharing some pictures probably from the 80,s when it was first pulled from its resting place after being hung in the rafter of a barn in 1936 !!
i have some of the history for the boat but much is missing . i have refferences from 1928 racing at the welsh harp and 1936 sinking in felixstowe harbour ,so there is a big gap of missing history that need filling ,any help would be gratefully excepted .
my intentions is to put Ian II back on the water next year .
regards all
