Prolific boat restorer Ken Lemin spotted some potential when he saw Joint Venture offered for sale |
|
The late 60's midmount was a Gill hull, but was looking particularly tired |
|
Joint Venture was fitted with a Holden 202 ci 6 cylinder, that just didn't quite suit the boat |
|
The boat was recognised by a previous owner who raced it in the 80's, running a rearmount Holden 253 ci V8 (photo Jeff Thompson) |
|
Ken took the boat home, sourced a 253 and another gearbox and got to work
|
|
After several months, the boat emerged from the shed. Renamed its original name RASCALA, the boat has taken pride of place within Ken's ever increasing fleet
|
RASACALA is now located in South Australia
