History
Bought at auction in 1987, the history of this craft is not known. WILDFOWLER is a most interesting craft in that it is a motorised Gun Punt fitted with a small version of the 'Kitchen Rudder' gear used by many Naval Craft in the 40's and 50's. The craft is fitted with a gun mount but no gun is available to be mounted. Her original engine ( when sold at auction in 1987 was fitted with a 4hp Stuart Turner ) has been replaced at some stage by a modern 12hp Dolphin engine. Collection has since been dispersed and location of vessel is now unknown. GH May 2013
