Ever seen or heard of one of these?

This is a rarity, and at 500 quid, it's expensive! It's called a Bowman sea jay.

SPOKESMAN

Aye, its legit.

The Sea Jay is the biggest of the Luton Bowman boats. Very sought after.... hence the price! It has the remarkable Bowman-Bryant two cylinder 'valveless' engine... here's some info about it:

Really? Well, there's one on eBay now and it's in very good nick. I'll watch with interest!
Steely

Yep. I don't think the one on ebay will go for as much because it's not in as good condition, but I think it will go for a fair amount.

No I didn't. I wouldn't mind to have it though, it's a real beauty.

I'm sure I could slot it in somewhere too!

but not for that price

I should also mention that 950 doesn't include the 22% premium charge aswell......I'll let you do the maths. That puts it into 4 figures.

Yup, already noted the premium

Too much for me, not worth that (to me)

It does seem a silly price for a model, you could buy a decent motorbike or car for that.

Indeed! some things have to take priority over a little steam boat (well it's not that little)

Could get a nice little run about for your cash Steely
Steely

aye.
