Re: Engine mounts for Peugeot Indenor DTP 50

Re: 1992 Koopmans 38 casco for completion?

I actually just studied this boat yesterday and I found it quite appealing. I don't know the brand but it looks like an Alubat. If it's Alubat quality then it should be good enough for me. Does...

Re: 1992 Koopmans 38 casco for completion?

Re: 1992 Koopmans 38 casco for completion?
