Eidolon was built for the navy by Frank Curtis in 1941, but has long since been converted into a houseboat with five bedrooms and it is on sale for £200,000.
A Fairmile C class motor gun boat, she was originally called HMS MGB 325 and is one of 24 such vessels built. Originally, she would have had three Hall Scott Petrol engines linked to three propellers.
