Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi i have invested in another project a Everingham it has the reversed plank with a cool 313 poly (got some life out of it and it sounds cranky). The problem i have is upper management wants to go cruising with the tin lids at christmas and the old Everingham needs some love. Freshening the engine is not a problem along with restoring the hardware and upholstery but the wood work may be a bit beyond me. The rough plan is to strip out the engine and hardware then take it to a restoration/repair guru. Is there such a guru? I live in Wagga Wagga and can take the boat any where southern NSW or northern VIC or beyond if i have to, to show such a guru to see what they think. I would have a crack at it my self but time and ability will be a issue. From what i can see there is no split planks, the transom looks OK, two broken ribs, and needs a new deck but the deck frame looks OK, it has some oil stain in the bottom, i spilt some water in it when i was mucking around with the engine and it never leaked out. I am confident the the old girl will live again! PS i wood post some photos but can't work out how to shrink them to a acceptable size.

hey johno, any chance you can take some pics and text them to me from your mobile phone. my shed will be empty soon so might be able to help you out.

haha they say the easiest way to do something is to get someone else to do it!!!

good work greg

I had my boat restored in Adelaide by Cameron Donladson at Easytiger Marine. Cameron did a fantastic job and worth every cent. email sales@easytiger.net.au

I reckon Ron Johnson in Woollamia might be an option for you. I've sent you an email.
