Hi Sturm 78,

here is a pic of the so-called M-Boot (abbreviation for Motorboot) from a Russian site.
These motorboats were part of the Brückenkolonne B with bridge building material B. Each of the two platoons had a M-Boot on the trailer Sd.Anh. 13.
AFAIK there were different models:
M-Boot 28, 36, 41 and 43, but all with a 100 hp engine produced by Maybach or Selve. Sorry, I don´t know the differences between these models.
And here a M-Boot in action pulling pontoons of Brückengerät B.

Best regards

Bert
