The PBO team will be exhibiting the fully-restored project boat Hantu Biru at Scotland’s Boat Show, from Friday 9 October to Sunday 11 October.
The team at Kip Marina have already taken delivery of our Snapdragon 23. Hantu Biru travelled up to Inverclyde from the Southampton Boat Show after a brief stop at Swanwick Marina, thanks to John Shepherd Boat Transport.
Throughout Scotland’s largest boat show, visitors will be invited to step aboard Hantu Biru and to enter a competition to win her. The winner will be announced shortly after the London Boat Show in January.
