UK Volga 275
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2016 7:05 am
Hello fellow Volga enthusiasts!
this is my first post so i thought i would introduce myself a little as im sure i will be asking more than informing in the future.
I have recently bought a Volga 275 after many years of looking. i brought her to Scotland from Croatia.
i have all the documentation and history of the boat , originally bought by the Yuguslavian government and operated as a patrol boat around the prison island of Goli Otok.
she has since been used as a sea taxi between Crikvenica and Silo in croatia.
unfortunately she has been gradually modified to suit her purpose but nothing which cannot be undone with time and effort.
even more unfortunately is that she had been stripped of her engine and sterndrive which im currently looking for a replacement.
i havnt started on the restoration yet but i hope to soon.
id be interested to hear from anyone with a Volga in the UK as im sure there must be some hidden away.
also if anyone has a volvo penta outdrive or extension i will buy it without hesitating!!!
best regards
norman
