Ship's data & provenance
Registration, dimensions, power and tankage, plus what is documented and what is a reasonable reading of the evidence.
On provenance, plainly
The class history on the Overview page comes from period photographs and from former RAN crew who served on these boats. What is documented on this hull is her construction, her twin Perkins six-cylinder diesels and her V-drive arrangement, all of which match. She was catalogued as an ex-navy rescue vessel when she came up at auction in 2023, under the same hull identification and registration she carries today, and the auction listing itself carried the photograph of the class stowed on deck. Her NSW registration lists the manufacturer as unknown, which is normal for a boat of this age and origin.
What none of that gives you is a service record. I believe she is the Seaboat at left in that photograph, pennant SB3335, but that is my reading of a grainy image, not a paper trail, and no one has produced her pennant number in writing. Come and look at the hull yourself and draw your own conclusion. I would rather tell you this now than have you find it later.
