What is now the bow is what waterways put on as a butty stern based on the river class back end? The bow was later cut off and squared off you can see the bow last parts of the guards and in the photos you can see the turn in of the bow plates. You can also see the stern sideways t stud has been retained for the bow
Interesting as 743 listing in the new book (just counted ) however rebuilds of steamers and when the were converted to motors are listed as separate lines
Ah now you remind me of an issue I had a few years back. Being told to go research when said person held only copy of research I was looking at lol. Tho my efforts didn’t go to waste and spotted many errors in materials put out including drawings for the single motors that turned out to be for the big engine early northwichs. But yes I knew that as the new FMC book has some but I gather not all the listings as it tends to stick to the long distant boats and not those used on the bun as day boats
You of course have a point however I was using what has become a widely used term to identify which boat in the easiest way possible.

Yes however sentinels was more pinched abit like Alison’s but still not Spurr. The thing that’s gets me is the Elums all being reverse shark fins.
I don’t know for a fact but was told by them was built for a Brewing company as a beer boat not sure if this was transport or selling. However have seen photos of Sentinal with just the back cabin.
Do you have any photos as I have seen Brian Duvall boats being wrongly sold as spur marine. Once you have spent all your life on and looking at them you kind of know them lol. That said Allison isn’t a name that I remember tho they do get re named
Sentinel was one of 10 built by Brian Duvall somewhere on the BCN using a brake press. If my late farthers boat is anything to go by some odd sheet sizes. The bows were based on a old boat Brian Duvall owned and I believe converted and lived on. This being Emerald, the early boats had more wood than the later I.E a mix between bottoms gunwhales and cabins.
16k for a paint job not a bad mark up judging by the photos the blocks still cracked and hull still spread. This is what we were told when we looked at her 3 years ago. Don’t get me wrong I’d buy her tomorrow if she was 35k and I had it going spare my two fave things a Brian Duval boat made from an old hull.
Tho she ended up having a whole counter too as all shot.
As to original over new yes there are some odd ideas but if the knees are taken out instead of cut etc then why not quite a few boats with a lot of new albeit riveted.
