Cabin Humber

Saw this nice looking cabin Humber on Poole Quay Marina today. She followed us into Swanage to watch the Red Arrows. She was back in the marina tonight.
Anyone on here?

I am afraid if I spent enough to get something with a cabin it would need to have me sitting in it while driving

Saw it again out on the water and should have got some more pictures. Had to chuckle as when sat at the helm, you cant really see over the roof of the cabin.

Maybe if they had actually cut window panels out of the mould and stuck a pair of decent Scotseats in there, they'd be on to something big....

No, forget it, that's just silly talk

A bit negative folks. Plainly it's driven about and parked fine so I guess the driver can see where he/she is going. It's an open boat with all that's good about that but nice, dry accommodation for staying away from home occasionally. An inboard diesel (A bit presumptuous I suppose.) so it can be fueled most places. Makes sense to me.
