I used to do a bit of work on a Ranger. (Rebuilt the motors)

Twoz called 'Olle Sionbach' and had a pair of straight six Volvo AQ170's on 270 drives.

That was late 80's

here in Guernsey we must have about 20 of the old girls most now running diesels,
on monday i am taking my skippers out of the water, poor old bugger passed away on sunday, so i will give his old girl one last blast, she runs a KAD 43
she will still pull 35 Knots on a good day
Happy days
