Whats the tow car? looks like an old Rover that misjudged a bridge, delivery costs for the boat would be a bit steep though, you could always fly over and drive it back, but watch out for pirates, Colin.

Col, never mind the pirates , but you would need to keep a weather eye out for dry rot in the timbers. Thats the marine version of RUST. I betcha Alfa have got that one covered as well

Haha, showing your age Uncle Col, but nice reference to an Auntie Rover.  I'm sure you know that it's a cut-down Fiat 500C Belvedere.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fiat_500CBelvedere.jpg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fiat_500CBelvedere.jpg)

Cool boat.

Sheldon, I'm always in awe of your encyclopaedic knowledge of odd ball Fiats etc (must have been that childhood in New Zealand). Fiat 500C Belvedere, Looks like the love child of a Morris Minor " Woodie"

This is getting more bizzare every minute, so why would you tow a boat with a 500cc Fiat, with the roof cut off, for the extra strength that you would need for towing a boat, best to put the Fiat on the boat and go every where by water, when you get to land, drive the Belvedere off the boat onto land, Colin.
