Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Well spotted Bob, that's one of those new bluetooth alternators!

Yes Andy is right, outboards will have springs to tension the cables keeping them on the drum. I would also suggest once you find the right position height and possibly trim at speed that will be a fixed position.

Great Pics! Holden grey special heads, and how prominent is that grain on the deck

Kind of liked the patched and epoxied planks, Bob, but looking really great with colour.
What is the top coat an off white? Ray was hoping maybe a really yellow/white

Shame, Could have snuck across on the ferry!, we are stuffed in Metro

Looking Good Raymond! Really good work there.

Bloody Great Work Greg! what a ripper. Look forward to seeing it on the water with the new heart.
I already have a CAWPBA flag on the skiff, better go and have a look, may not look as good as yours tho

Hi Craig, From the pics the hull is mounted on tyres?? If I was doing work on the frames and keel, I would have the entire hull mounted solidly. Then there will be no distortion, these boats are built in a metal "jig" to keep things "square" Apologies if you have it in a jig, pic...

Congrats Ray!, Looks really cool.
I am happy to supply the yellow paint, it will be a gift that will keep giving!
And the name, is a no brainer: "One goat"
And I'm sure Captain Chiv's will supply driving lessons

Craig,
I had a happy tacho like that once!
