I took a look at the boat. Sorta gave me a shock. They look exactly
like the ones i road in while working with the Polish highseas fishing
fleets. Then when I noticed youre from the Netherlands it made sense a
Polish life boat would look like your european photo.

Sugest you got to Swinoujscie, Szczecin, or Gdynia, Poland for a look
see. Might try calling Grif or Odra fishing companies... If you speak
Polish.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any more contact details of these
companies?

Thanks

The companies wer e Gryf, Odra, and .... cant remember the other one.
Too much spiritus. But I think only one remains in busines. Do a
Google search for the company name. Contact a Ship Broker who deals in
old F/T Factory Trawlers. Their cargo boats all had the same type life
boats too. Right down to that metal bar on the stern. The cargo boats
are all named after moutains.... Gorda.

So why are you so set on that specific life boat. Youll find the same
problems with any of thoes tubs. Just like all the other Hippies did
in the 70s when you could buy them in the US for $200 USD each. The
were designed for max weight so your going to have to pour in 4 yards
of concrete in the bilge. They all had extreamly thin skin cause they
were designed to live their life on davats not floating. There are a
bunch of other problems convertting them but thoes are the two big
ones.

So why are you so interested in those tubs?????
