Description: | The motor launch is called 'Shush'. The aft part of the boat is closed off with a bulkhead and planked over to form a watertight compartment in which to store gear. The after thwart, unlike the forward example, is not fixed but can be slid along a short run of side frames. The launch comes complete with a 3 horsepower two stroke petrol engine by Watermota Ltd; two wooden bottom boards; wooden bow grating; wooden engine cover; wooden engine cover lid with brass handles; two wooden ensign staffs; wooden forward locker door, with brass fittings; brass fuel cap and filler ring; two wooden gratings; wooden propshaft casing; wooden rudder; metal starting handle and wooden tiller.
