Thanks Dave, found picture enclosed,its from a 1936 catalogue, The motor, prop-shaft and prop are whats in the boat. don't think I'll sell as restoring it is more worthwhile.
Thanks Colin.

HI Colin
Interesting motor. There is a reply in Model Boats Mayhem by dodgy geezer who identifies your motor as the "Marine" in the Basset Lowke 1936 catalogue
http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=28747.0.
I suggest you post on that Forum to see if anyone can identify the boat. if it's Basset Lowke from the 1930's I suggest you don't touch it and advertise to get the best price 😀

High fellow boaters,
This Is my latest project,(am I mad) Its a scratch built all metal boat, 33Inches long with an 8 Inch beam, from about 1950? I think It's supposed to be a coaster of some description unless you know better, It Is In a very poor state as you can see from the photo's, but I think It's basically sound, just needs rebuilding, the motor Is a Bassett Lowke, made In Northampton, I don't know anything about It, I tried It on various battery's from 3 up to 12 volts and It ran quite smoothly, any Information would be most welcome.
Should keep me busy through the winter, so any Ideas would be gratefully received. Just found this picture from 1936 catalogue showing Motor and Prop-shaft and prop as fitted In this boat.
Thanks Colin.
