I'll definitely take one of those thanks Adam. I can't get much more info about this boat's history. All I can establish is that it was bought about 10 years ago from Huskisson (NSW) and the guy I bought it off was adamant that it was a Lewis. To be continued I guess...I am certainly open to any suggestions from anyone who may know this boat, thanks, Jon.

Perhaps a Lewis & Johnson? I'm not sure when their partnership started but Ron Johnson lives in that area of NSW.

You might find out that it is a Frank Lewis and he didnt put a badge on them. Frank lewis lived in huskisson and later went on the making boat as Lewis and johnson befor he died in a car crash. Ron Johnson is the chap that does all of my boat work and he is retired and still lives there. I sugest that you give him a ring and send over some pics and he might be able to help you.

Agreed more likely a Lewis and Johnson.
I have no idea how it got there, but I'm thinking could still be one of Keith's boats. (Simpkin)
Who ever built it was right on their game! - good looking boat
The plank lines remind of Jayme2 and that Everingham I've got up in the rack.

Thanks for all that info guys, it marries up with what my bloke told me...that it was built by Frank Lewis. Does that mean it's a "Lewis"? Really appreciate the input!!!
