skiff name trivia

[retroboat]

Good evening all,
I have short listed some potential names for the mystery skiff through research looking at old racing pictures and the archived hollow log newsletters.
Can anyone tell me which of the names are not a 16 foot Lewis skiff, or are accounted for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Nathan.

Most of those hulls are under sixteen feet.

Thanks Dave,
I thought most of them were, its hard to tell from the pictures what they are.
Could you please let me know which ones are 16 footers.
You have mentioned previously that the hull is similar to mouse, one Mouse was 13 foot 6, is it possible there may have been another one built later that was 16 feet.
I appreciate any help you can give me on this.
Cheers Nathan.

Your skiff has the name WOODEE painted over on the transom, I was led to believe that it was campaigned around the Ballarat area under that name but I run into dead ends trying to chase it up. Love the way it is coming up! Will be great to see it come back to life, any ideas on a power plant?

The Lewis Mouse that raced in Victoria was a 15 footer. That boat is currently under resto in WA.

G'day Rayza,
I haven't decided on the engine yet, I will keep researching names while I restore the hull and if nothing has come up by then, probably a 350 chev because they are easy to get.
cheers Nathan.
