Jsplace Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Firstly welcome to the forum As far as your boat is concerned though, I for one have never heard of it. However in Norwegian "Rana" is a large district in northern Norway and "Baten " is Norwegian for boat. Sorry I can't be of any more help. All the best Jason.

kingfisher1 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hopefully will be a stable platform for fishing I think this boat is fairly old .I had a 12.5 bonwitco a couple of years ago but just to small to get out unless it was flat calm.I am fairly new to fishing this area I used to run a commercial fishing boat out of looe cornwall back in the mid 90's Also angling trips in the summer.my grandad used to fish out of poole a few good years ago.
