This looks as though it could have started life as a Formula Ford hydro... something like Hobo? Just a hunch.

That's it I'm growing a beard, buying a bluey and getting into Hydro racing

Bob for memory I think it was one of Norm Days RUFF NUTS built by Grahame Williamson from the VSBC

Good call on Ruff Nut - didn't think of that boat. It's currently at $2k which is a steal.... if I had a bigger shed I'd be divorced!

A little slow on this one. A prime candidate to relocate to the small island (have to encourage Chivs to blow the cobwebs out of his wallet).
Did anyone buy this ? Auction ended $2551.00.

One at a time, finished floating and going! Plus i am getting enough enjoyment of watching your growing collection, just hope to see one float and go one day?

Hows the paintin going?

Have you bought more shelving to stack them up Stuart?

Chivs... Some valid points you make. I was merely trying to encourage you to line up your next project. It seems you have a choice between joining the Hydro set with beard and bluey, the crazy skiff driver set (clothing optional) or the old school captain pugwash set which you may already be a life member. Your next move is widely anticipated.

Painting and school holidays don't mix. Will be there all next week...drop in.

Thanks Alan...no room for shelving....need new garage.
