Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Looks good, don't know where he did the research to get $35K+ in Sydney, but at least the going price looks reasonable.

Here is Bottla in around 2000.

I am surprised you crow eaters have not snapped this one up? Has anyone had a look at it? I have a mate (also known as 'Hooks'! which will be his log in name when he joins the club) in northern Victoria who is currently haggling to buy a classic boat. However if the deal falls through he may be interested in this project, obviously a bonus with all the original running gear etc to come with it. Any advice or thoughts on this may encourage him to drive across the border and we get another member in the club with a similar sense of humour, so watch out Brian!

haha well whats stopping him signing up already??? that evo would be a good project. wouldnt be so hard. nice to see someone finally make a post. after three days i was starting to get with drawal symptons, or is that just the cans i started drinking at 10am??? anyway busy weekend ahead boat building for me. chat soon

Yeah Hookster whats stopping you. The bonus for you is that you will get the support of all the Victorian members which on last count was 45! Plus it will save me towing a boat to Narrandera, I can us yours

Well ahoy there!! I'm officially signed on, will sign up to the club asap. Now I just have to get a boat then I'll be dinky-di, all set for Nerrandera this year so look out

Welcome to the Board Hookster

I'm sure we'll be able to help finding you a boat somewhere or somehow, but it looks like you're doing OK already.

Just had a quick look at the site, he advertises it as 1989? Could be a typo error (who makes those?) if its 1989 I doubt the relevance to the clubs nostalga pages. I would also check if its been glassed over of if it is an 89 model it is probably fibreglass. Good to see ya up an running Hookster, its an addiction, you will have two before you know it

Paul owned this Everingham back when the photo above was taken. He might be able to indicate its condition then but who knows whats been done since.
