Gday All
My name is Jeff Thompson from Adelaide.
I have just bought Dave D's little grey powered skiff last week.
I have also joined the CAWPBA and Im keen to get along to some outings with her.
Dave introduced me to some SA members at the test & tune day at Goolwa before Narrardera late last year.
I have always been a 'old holden' guy (still am) but
my boating interest go back a long way.
My Grandparents used to have a shack at Goolwa which the whole family were at every easter back in the 70's.
I would always be found at the Goolwa speedboat club watching the racing.
Those sights and sounds have always been with me as great memories from my childhood. (I was only around 12 yrs old then)
My plans for the boat are to shift the seating postion back to where it should be,
new dash layout, and a new deck & engine cover, to get her looking more like she should.
I will be looking for ideas on the layout of the changes I want to make,
to have the boat looking as genuine as possable.
While its not a boat with known history or pedigree, thats ok by me.
I am not a restorer with my cars, and this boat will allow me to 'Hot Rod it'
with out destroying any heritage
Cheers
Jeff
