  • MFV BF494 'Pansy', an old Motor Fifie Conversion

  • If you're new here, it might be worth starting at the beginning to find out what you're letting yourself in for! The Pansy Genesis - Where it all started So we start looking for a Scottish MFV for Liveaboard conversion and end up on a mission to restore and live with a 70 year old Motor Fifie that someone else had started converting. Bear with it, there's a few useful pearls of wisdom in here somewhere for those of a boaty disposition Feel free to get in touch with any queries or post comments, we've probably got heaps more info that we've just plain forgot to stick on here
