Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

G'day Damo, it has been a while since you have posted a pic just wondering how you are getting on with your boat? Cheers Chris

Sorry Dave I will not be able to make it this year which is a shame as it really is a great venue. Cheers chris

Thanks Dave, viteau was pretty rough through her 40's but a bit of bog and a polish and look what happened. Cheers

I wonder does the can of flame out swap with a can of start ya bastard at each outing.

I was shown the old photo when I started the boat but wasn't till I caught up with the original builder that I took a photo of it and hoped that one day I could do another photo 50 years later. The funny thing how similar the font ended up and that was done before I saw the photo for the second time...

Then and now photos of Viteau with 50 years apart.

Greg, Well done on the calendar.The pressure will be on to get the 12 shots to feature in the 2016 edition. Cheers Chris

Thanks Damo, I didn't want the dash with lights and switches so they are semi hidden. I just have the original gauges, walnut steering wheel and a starter button. I know that it whole package is far from an original restoration but it could be worse with the boat left to rot in the paddock. Cheers c...

Thanks Dave. I was only referring to the plans for the history of my boat as Peter the builder had notes written on it. He told me that when he was putting the ply on the hull that he bent his shed trusses trying to get the right shape. Cheers chris

Hi Damo
Great minds think alike this is what I have for my ignition box and gear shifter. Cheers Chris
