Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi, my name is Jamie from Mackay in Queensland and I am building a 23 ft triple cockpit barrel back by Ken Hankinsen...
I know it is an american design but it is being built here so I will class it as Aussie...
I have completed the hull and flipped about 3 weeks ago..I have painted bottom ( pearl white) and sides ( metallic brown/ bronze) with timber on transom...timber is Aqua from the Solomon islands and this will also be used on the top deck along with Serian cedar...
I have a 454 big block chev with a 1:1 72 C transmission...
I am hoping to be finished by mid next year......
Once finished I will be keen to travel to different locations to ski and cruise with other timber classics....
Will post some pics once I resize some ....

Ahoy Jamie!

Better get organised for the wooden boat festival at Hobart in Tasmania February 2015 then mate!

Also I assume Glen from Townsville will want to talk to you if he hasn't already, he is currently restoring a Chris craft triple.

Cheers from sunny Tasmania (NOT! Sunny that is)

Hi Jamie
I don't feel so remote now a member 4 hours away, can't wait to see your photos of your boat, sounds great, Glenn

Yep pics please and welcome.

+1 for pics please....

Hi all...will post some pics soon.....what does everyone use to reduce the picture size?
Jamie

I bung 'em on photobucket and use the edit facility to reduce to 680 by 400 and something. Then use the IMG url for posting the pic.

Or you can use Microsoft photo manager if you want to resize before you upload...

Hey Jamie, just email the photo's you want to post back to your own email address. Outlook express resises them automaticaly, save them and post them!!! simples. Boat sounds cool!

Some pics of the Belle at the early stages..
