John Simpson (Email to Nauticapedia 09/11/2020) stated "When my parents (John (Jack) Simpson owned it they had it re-powered with twin Gray Marine gas about 225 hp each. They also added outside controls (flybridge - by Philbrooks). It was sold to CHEK TV and re-named the Saturna Chief , used as a crew boat to service a TV transmitter on Saturna Island." |
