Bought directly from the RNLI in November 2016, B-754 formerly known as the Pride of Sherwood was primarily a training / relief boat - I have seen records of it as a relief boat at Abersoch in Wales and Skerries in Ireland. The boat spent most of the winter of 2016 with SRM Marine in Hamble where she was refitted / rewired and re-engined with new twin Suzuki DF90’s. We also fitted a bench seat and grab rail across the stern of the boat. We stripped off the self righting bag and replaced it with twin solar panels to keep the batteries topped up. Since then she has seen a few weeks each summer on the river in Slaughden, Suffolk. As a result she has been Anti-fouled. I have most of the bills from the initial build and receipts for the servicing of the engines since which (i think) have been done three times. The engines have less than 100 hours on them. Complete with a rollercoaster 1000 trailer which has seen two return trips from Suffolk to Hamble and one up to Mallaig. Including a four point helm cover Stuart had made. Winters have all been in a farm building in Suffolk.
