Ski Time

 

 

 

 

I first saw Ski Time at the Lochsport Outboard Museum in Victoria in around 2008. I never did find out what happened to it after the museum closed down
 

 

The boat was is excellent original condition
 

 

It spent some time with the Melbourne Runabout and Speed Boat Club many years ago
 

 

For what would have been no more than a 13' boat, it seemed to have plenty of room in it.
 

 

The boat still sat on its original timber trailer
 

 

The twin Carburettor 4 cylinder Vanguard was as clean as a whistle
   

 

Sadly, in 2018 Ski Time was put up for sale in a quite deteriorated condition. Hopefully, someone has purchased the quite unique boat with the aim of restoring it back to original
