Engine(s)

A very well looked after aircooled Lister that has been serviced twice a year and never misses a beat. The engine is connected to a large propellor and traditional Blackstone Gearbox, so power has never been an issue and has been on many rivers and even crossed the River Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal.
