Danny and others;...Here is another LCA converted into houseboat for sale on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Static-Housebo...3A1%7C294%3A50

Anyone interested in a full houseboat interior, some timber and windows? I'll keep the hull

The boat sold for 2000 pounds. You wonder if the buyer was interested in the houseboat, or if he was after the LCA remains. Probably the first option.

Awesome news, Hanno! Good to see that not one, but four boats will be restored, before all of them have disappeared.

Alex

p.s. would be awesome to see one afloat alongside the french LCVP.

Very good news to see that some LCAs are being restored. I am envious at the restoration projects that are undertaken in Europe.
