Hi there

I have recently aquired a boat on an auction,and it looks like the engine might be salvageable.
I do however,need some expert advice on what exact model it is & what can be done with it.

Research suggests that this is a modified Napier Sea Lion engine.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Power_Boat_Company#cite_note-0)

I am attaching 2 photographs.More can be obtained if need be.

Best regards"Power" Marine Engine"Power" Marine Engine 2

Hi LJ

Congratulations on your purchase. I would like to find out some more.

From what I can see, this looks like a Power-Meadows 100/6. It should have twin amal carbs on the other side.
The BPBCo marinised a range of engines including
Meadows, Napier, Rolls-Royce, Packard and Perkins.

Do you have any other pictures of your boat?
How big is she? Where is she?
I may be able to identify her as I have quite a bit of information on these boats that came from my grandfather at BPBCo and have assisted in the resoration of several too.

Best regards
Andy

Hello Andy

Thanks for the prompt response!

To give you just a bit more info surrounding this purchase... My girlfriend bought the boat on an auction,as I mentioned. (still dont know why she did it!) ;)

Anyway,the boat itself,unfortunately,is in a terrible state.It would cost a hell of a lot to restore it.

I was thinking of selling the boat for scrap metal & salvage the engine to sell it.

I can get more pictures of the boat & engine if you are interested.

Both are in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Best regards

LJ
