Hi Hatters , Have to put Egret II on the market due to up sizing . Have no idea what she is worth ? no much ? Good Yanmar 10 HP with less than 20 hrs on it . Apart from that, a very original Mk 1 .
Cheers Bear

Hi Phil ,No need too ! Dad passed away and he left me his beloved Swanson 38 . And it's imposable to maintain both so my Egret II which I have owned for nearly 20 years needs a new lover !
Cheers Bear

Sorry to hear that Bear,
I know you will continue to enjoy the Swanson. But as you say it's not practical these days to be a fleet owner!

My condolences Bear. I lost my dad a few years ago and found it a great loss.
Kind Regards,

Hi Mark
Thank you , Yes it is hard and a great loss as he was a very interesting man especially when it came to boating .My brother said at his funeral " building a Top Hat in the family house and removing several doors and brickwork to get his creation out wasn't a thing every Dad did !
At 83 years he had a good innings.
Kindest Regards Bear

My condolences too, Bear.
Seemed like ya dad had his priorities right. Break the house but don't break the boat.

Our condolences Bear, your Dad sounds like a great character. I hope you find a new owner for Egret II soon, she should be worth a decent amount to someone on the lake.
