I remember this one from back around 2000. It was named Rawhide then and based in Ballarat. It came from somewhere in South Australia. I always reckoned it was an old skiff. Long, narrow hull. Used to go really well. Knew it was sold, but lost track of it.

I was thinking there's something not right about its current cockpit layout, it's very straight along the sides.
Would be an old skiff with that hull shape.

Ron I disagree with you on this one I have seen the boat when it was in Adelaide and it had the lewis plate and the guy converted it to a skiff and left the original dash sill under the deck. Duck flat filled the bottom of the boat with epoxy to stop it leaking and when I say fill it they had to re drill the prop shaft again and re set the log up again.
