Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Finally got the Simpkin in the water today first time in 18 years .It ran well with no problems ,it has a bit of v drive whine .The day was great but the water was bloody cold.

Nice work Ken.

Looks, great Ken. Where did you put in?

Fantastic Job as always, what a cracker of a boat, and plastic bottom with timber deck = low maintenace

I have come a full circle ,I have posted an old photo of my first Seacraft .I brought it with no engine as the owner had fitted a V8 but removed it to put it into a new hull. It is mostly finished but as all boat restores know one more clear coat should do it.

Beautiful work Ken,

Very nice Ken

Great stuff Ken. It's fantastic that you've managed to get it back. Obviously you have some fond memories of times with it back in the day.

Love your work Ken...
