hi all, Spotted some sort of clean up happening behind the 1860 gas works just across from the local lake.i found this iron-clad paddle boat that was used long ago to keep the weed down in the canoe lanes.Must have belonged to the local rowing club.I think they may have brought it off the union army ,after the Civil War
lol Bet buckle and iron boys like it. ::) ::) ::)

A few sparkplugs, some oil for the motor, flush the mud out, 1,679 pieces of sandpaper, and several gallons of Rust-Oleum and she'll be lookin' and runnin' like new.......NGE
 

Cast off there, mate! Time to feed the crocs! :thumbsup:

(Reckon she'd run on Vegemite?)
 

Are you going to restore it, LOL? Nice pictures of history TP. HH, Mike
