Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

various uncles have owned this over the years but it was eventually left in a shed for many years and was for sale nice and cheep. It has alot of issues but over all its in decent condition for its age, It now has a 202 red motor in it but did have a holden grey motor. I am not sure who made it, I assume it was a home built boat as I cannot find any markings on it what so ever so far. Anyone have a clue what it might be ?

If i didn't know better i'd say it's the same as mine (Wooden Worry) and Brians, Do you have any piccies from behind? We've come to the conclusion they MAY be a Boesch design although i've heard them called different things !! So now you should be completely confused. cheers Ray

haha yea when I head back out to york next I will take a few new photos.

Oh and would you know where I can get a new boss kit for these old steering shafts with the taper ? mine has some odd really wide 6 bolt pattern on it and I can't find a wheel that will fit it

I got a taper shaft steering boss from supercheap of all places, they dont always have them on the shelf but they can usually order one in. cheers Ray

yea I had a look through our old collection at Auto one when I worked there, not a small shop by any means but there was only one that had the right taper but didnt protrude enough to put the pin through it but I guess if its tight enough on the taper its not going to slip anyway so may go have a look at it again, it doesnt take the new SAAS wheels like I want it to but my old leather wheel with kangaroo emblem should fit it. fingers crossed

great looking old boat .hopefully you ,or some one else can restore it. love to see these old slab side boats working
