Never had a toy pop pop boat (but will buy one).

This is my Putt Putt boat (clinker built) with a Blaxland Chapman inboard motor (start with a leather belt) that I completely rebuilt and made many parts for out the front of my home on our private mooring poles that I did up in the ’80s (now long gone) these were really common inboard motor timber boats when I was a boy, but when aluminium boats became common these were quickly abandoned because of the amount of maintenace. But they were just great to fish out of and had a lot more ‘soul’ than boats I’ve had moored out the front since that.
