G'day Dave
Where do you find them? That is surely a unique shape from every angle. Does it require much work? Chris

Hi Chris I dont find them they find me
This boat is based on a 1947 ventnor. Its running a tune port inject Ford V8. I took it out last weekend and it flies.
The boat was imported by a WA mining company and used as a tender for the company yacht. It didnt handle the sea well and they sold it to this guy.
Im redoing the varnish on the deck, Making some chrome trims for it and then pulling the emgine out as he wants to repowered it with a Chev. Im getting the old engine in the deal.

Its a bloody cool boat. You should have seen the looks we got on the river.
