- Artisanal Trawler made in 1945!
I would like to know if there are members who have an old lifeboat that has been turned into a trawler.
Mine is 25 ft long and 7 ft 2 in wide in the middle and is dated 1945. The boat "Ridelo " on which she was, ended its days in 1971. It happened in Sorel, Quebec, Canada at Marine Industries LTD, an ex-boat manufacturer of the Canadian Navy along the St. Lawrence River. I have been looking for 12 years an original mechanical gas pump that still works and that has the specs for a 1969 Volvo Penta AQ130C... Finally, I found on marineengine.com, a retired marine mechanic (thanks Eduardo!) who repaired them and who wrote to change them by a Carter marine electric gas pump that has the specs for this engine.
Thank you for reading me and for the pleasure of reading you!
