Converted to butty in 1950s.After a period as a single motor, the boat had the stern off and was converted to butty in 1951. It was photographed at Gnosall in 1957 being towed in a line of three with two motors ahead of it. Some time after this, the bow was also cut off and replaced with straight section when it was being used as a maintenance boat. (I do not know when this happened.) When the boat was converted to a pleasure boat at a later date, the straight bow was used as the stern and the butty stern was modified to become the bow. The boat was also renamed to Leopard at some point. The boat\'s home mooring is at Oldbury Boat Services in June 2004. Again photos can be seen at Steves Fish class site.
