King Fisher – A Peek Down Below

Todays woody – King Fisher if you believe her tme listing (thanks Ian McDonald) states she is a Shipbuilders design and built in 1998. Someone more worldly than me can advise if that possible.

What I can confirm is that King Fsher is 36’ in length with a beam of 11’5” and draws 3’3”. Built from kauri with f/glass to the waterline.

Forward motion is via twin 160 hp. Chev 4stroke V8 diesels, the engines are said to be ex military. 

Some very tidy interior wood work, but the listing mentions she requires some TLC. Currently located in Helenville.

  1. It appears that the marine conversions of the engines were done by Osco who have done a huge number of marine conversions right back in to the 1930s or 40s, as that name appears on the exhaust manifolds.

    I have never seen their name on these engines before, all others known to me, were Ford based petrol engines. — KEN R
