I've seen several well done conversions of steel lifeboat hulls to
cruising
vessels. They are quite popular in the UK it seems. I'd like to look into
the possibility of doing a conversion myself, but I can't seem to find any
resources for the lifeboats themselves. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

James Sloan



James:

Small Boat Journal #66, April/May 1989 had an article on the conversion.
This was written by Guy Smith with illustrations by Marya Butler. Also a
reference to an article in US Power Squardon "The Ensign" January 1988
"How to buy a Navy Surplus Boat" by Arthur Baitz.

If you want a scan of the SBJ article, just let me know.
