Indeed, it has a Lister FR2 which is currently driving a 21x18 prop. I sincerely hope that it chops the weed, since it requires eight foot long triple-jointed arms to get down the weed hatch. Check <http://thekelleys.org.uk/pics/melly.jpg> and note that there's no access hatch in the back deck: the only way in is sandwiched between the deck and the uxterplate. > > Simon, Bill Fen is a great place, give Lyn and John TNC's regards > (especially from their old moorer, John Chapman, they may not know that > John and Pat sold Frogmoore II a year ago and have given up boating.)
