The picture was scanned from a Littlehampton postcard printed c1998. and shows Fury driven by Mark, with Miss Littlehampton moored up with driver Richard chatting to his girlfriend on the pontoon. The lifeguard boat and personnel were also provided by the speedboat operator under contract to Arun District Council.

The workshop premises leased from Littlehampton Harbour Board were redeveloped in 2001, and although the operation was rebased in Littlehampton Marina, the increased costs made the business unviable and the boats were sold.

Fury was purchased by a consortium of local enthusiasts, whilst Miss Littlehampton was snapped up by someone who intended to operate it in a different coastal town. Brighton was suggested initially, but I have no idea where it eventually ended up.
