Simmonds Ski Boat Parts - Wanted
« on: August 12, 2012, 08:58:53 PM »
Hi All

I am restoring a Simmonds Ski Boat and need any help I can get to obtain original parts.

Miss Pilgrim can be seen here - http://www.simmonds-motorlaunches.co.uk/news.htm

Parts needed include engine, screen, rudder, ladder, fuel & water tanks, steering wheel, clocks, switches, forward facing air scoops, throttle lever, nav lights, propeller - pretty much everything really.

Alternatively plans/drawings to make or have parts made would be handy. Windscreen, trailer, fuel/water tanks, rudder, ladder.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks

RD

Ah, you are our hero.  ;D
Simmonds web site are very good friends of OSB and we have been watching the life of the boat, with both sadness and humour. You have a bit of a job on, but I hope you will bring her round to what she should be.

All the very best and I hope guys will be helping soon. BN
