Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Spotted this on a calendar at work today. I thought it was a great photo

(I take zero credit for it)

NICE!

Would love to see some more pics of this one

This one's been for sale for a quite a while. I think it's a great buy

Its been built to Champion Boat company plans.

Pity it isn't closer to home...

Plenty of work to be done here...

Anyone familiar with it?

Hope it goes to a good home. Would be a shame to see this one in particular left to the elements

Repco headed grey

It's an Ed Karlson (USA) design. I don't think it was ever completely finished (trailer's unpainted etc)
It's in great condition and they're bloody fast boats!

There's a video around of it at Taree from 2004-ish (i think??) that's super impressive... BIG rooster tail...

Tell you what... Get it over here and I'd give you at least $20 for it

I've always loved the cowlings on this thing

I'm sure I've seen this boat elsewhere on the site before. Looks like a good thing

Looks to be Lewis inspired? Anyone know what/who built it exactly?

It's a great feeling throwing a hydro into a turn for the first time isn't it
