Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Ive been led to believe most lewis skiffs had a falcon wheel on them.
Ff sure certainly does.
The most frustrating part of this project to date is I seem to have missplaced the tank mounting straps. Ive been looking for them everywhere.

In answer to your question Bob ………. have you checked yours lately?

Bob W

Are you trying to tell me something Bob?

Well, if it's not there Bob, I guess I know where you'll start looking.

Well Rhonda babe is making steady progress. The last twelve months have been pretty difficult to find the money to see the project done. Luckiky Bob and I have been able to drip feed it to keep it moving forward.
Ive put what I hope is enough away to get it done now.
The engine is basically finished and the signwriting was started today.
We are bothe getting excited.

Here's a pic of the sign writing incomplete but underway.

The signwriting has been finished. It looks great. Wont be long now.

Well we basically finished the boat today but as luck would have it it wouldn't start.
We both think the magneto is playing up.
I'll try a distributor before we look at other problems.
I really liked the look of the mag.

Thanks to John Kilpatrick I now have a working magneto in Rondah Babe.
She fired straight up and sounds unreal.
The cam has been run in. Just need to install the extra valve springs and rego and we are ready to test.
Should be I the water tomorrow if all goes well.

Good luck dave make sure you get some pics I want to see it in the water
