Re: Raw water strainer?
I guess it depends on the quality of the water where you intend to run your boat. However, if in any doubt, I'd fit one.

Re: Bilge paint suggestions
I think that showing your excellent timber and wood work is the way to go. What will the bilge paint achieve that the epoxy doesn't already do?

Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
And so the restoration is complete! It's a bitter sweet time as I've thoroughly enjoyed the project, even though it has been extremely trying at times. Just a week after the intial launch we had Nirvana at the Paynesville Classic Boat Rally this weekend. On Saturday the old boat horn failed and blew...

Re: The Paynesville Classic Boat Rally 2-3 Mar 2024
What a fantastic weekend for the club. I reckon that we can all hold our heads high, in spite of being treated as second class citizens by the yacht club. The volunteers on the ground did an amazing job under very difficult and trying circumstances - they were great. It was really good to catch up w...

Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Phew! What a relief. Nirvana is launched and it all went really well. My biggest fear was a leak or a major tech problem - you all know how it goes with boats. It's all good until they touch the water. My expectation was a top speed in the low 20 mph bracket, so to see 27mph on Ross' GPS was very pl...

Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Following a big push over February, I can confidently now say that Nirvana is essentially finished and will be displayed at the Paynesville classic boat rally. I was frustrated with a string of dud 6 volt batteries, but eventually settled on a Optima Redtop battery. So a rework on the battery carrie...

No worries - we'll look after said boats for said people... if we remember what boats and who. What is the event again?
