Default Chrysler Royal 8-cylinder

Dave,

You may be referring to the Army's similar looking 25-foot Utility Launch built in Victoria. It was powered by Chrysler Royal 8 cylinder petrol engine of 143 hp (or a Vosper marinised Ford V8). That might account for finding the pistons at Hughes, too (Victorian local disposal).

Or maybe the two (Army and RAAF) were the same basic boat? At well over 100 hp, the little 25-footer must have been quick through the water!
