here's an excellent page on the American-built "Elco" (the Electric Boat Company, famous later for building submarines) motor launches used in large numbers by the Royal Navy in the Great War. They were also delivered to the Canadians, French, Italians, Irish, Poles and Russians. The RN scrapped or sold them all by 1927. During the Great War, they cost the Royal Navy £8400 without weapons or radios. In 1920, however, you could get one (minus weapons and radios) for £600, or for £100 with the engines removed. Converted to a yacht they would cost about £1500 in the early Twenties (or as low as £400 with only a small 90 HP engine and not-very-luxurious interior). Quite a few survived as yachts and houseboats until the Second World War, rescuing soldiers from Dunkirk etc. They're roughly 80' long (but there are a lot of variations).
