Hi all im a new member from Bucketty nsw.

Does anyone recognize her or have any info?

She is called Ghost and was moored in elizabeth bay in Sydney apparently

She is 5.4m long with a v8 inboard ( 308) and a early leg.

She has a glass hull with timber deck. ( riva style)

Thanks in advance

Hello there and welcome to the Board.

Not too sure about what help you will receive regards your boat as our focus is on all wooden stuff here. Nevertheless, hopefully some one might know of it or a similar boat. Certainly, pictures are an enormous help when trying to identify a boat.

To upload a pic/s:

First off, you must be signed in

Click the “Full Editor and Preview” tab below, or the “Post Reply” tab below and to the left.

A reply panel will come up

Below the reply panel are two tabs, one “Options”, the other “Attachments”

Click the “Attachments” tab that appears and then click on the “Add Files” tab

This brings up a “File Upload” box from where you can select what pictures you wish to upload. Note that pics should be limited to about 800 px wide and a max of about 500kb in size

Select you pic/s and they will begin to upload

You can add a comment about the pic in the box provided, if you wish

Once uploaded, click in the reply panel to place the cursor where you would like the picture to be positioned. Then, click the “Place inline” tab

The pic’s details will be placed in the rely panel

Clicking the “Preview” tab will display your message (including the pictures) at it will appear on the Bulletin Board.

If you are happy with it all, click the “Submit” tab and your message will be placed on the Board

Hi Greg,

Ok thanks for that , i guess im in the wrong group then sorry.

Worth a try

It looks like i was adding the pics correctly but they were too big.

I will have to try again when on my desktop.

Cheers for the advice.

That's a pretty unique sort of boat Sean. I reckon someone would have to know it

Thanks guys.

She has had some money spent on her in the past but been neglected by the last owner.

All electrics work, have new trailer , now the engine and then leg and then paint and timber.

Hopefully it all comes together eventually.

Cheers
