Interesting Hammond on Ebay , item # 2303073988533.
Plastic hull with timber deck running Y block with 4 x 94s on top.
Claims to be 1962 .Did Hammond build plastic back that far ?

Hi
I spoke to Mark Hammond about this boat yesterday and he assures me they never made any half timber half glass boats. The earliest fibre glass Hammond wasn't built until approximately 1967. The boat on EBay although not a Hammond is still not bad. It's got a great "nostalgia" engine.
Ron..

can't seem to find it on ebay?

It's at http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT . Not much time left.

It seems strange that a Moomba Masters boat would not be running a clutch of some sort and I would have thought there'd be better performing engines around at the time than a good old Y block. All the same, looks like a good outfit. It'll be interesting to see what they want for it.
