Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

a rare reverse hydro

Sunday night the phone rang, a dealer i know has purchased a decease estate with a old wooden boat with pontoons, down the back of the garage. You can imagine the thoughts going through ones mine " Jones Hydro "! or early flat deck hydro of the 60's. Monday arrived at property , bob cat cleaning up the remains from the garage and their sat i quote " here's another absolute stunner " i don't think so! Alot of these old guys have to much time on there hands. Built like a box with a pointed front , flat bottom- pontoons with foam [ anti roll?] painted pilot boat orange. Reminded me of a homemade wooden surf board.

Jeez Ray, you've nearly equalled the upright piano with this one. Nice find.
