Jan II is a late 1950's 17' Lewis runabout powered by a Ford 272 ci V8 |
|
It is believed the boat was raced with the Deepwater Motor Boat Club in its early years |
|
The boat was sold in 1960 and used by its new owner as a ski boat. Little else is known of the boat's movement until the mid 90's |
|
It was then purchased by Mick Mills of Wagga Wagga at a clearing sale in 1996 with the intention of restoration |
|
The resto never eventuated and Jan II was offered for sale in 2009, when it was purchased by Col Bailey |
|
A complete restoration was carried out and the boat relaunched in
2011. Jan II is based in SA. |
