1960's winged Lewis runabout

[Chivs]

Fully restored 1960's winged Lewis with a new Peterson dry sump set up on a 4 bolt main 350 Chev with new dog clutch. The boat is based at Hobart, Tasmania and I will consider offers over $20,000.
If you are truly serious about this boat I encourage you to look at "Readers Boats" on this club web site, where you will find some history of this boat "Torea" which has spent most of its operational life in South Australia.
I bought the boat from club member Bob Carter and have fully documented my restoration story on this site on the bulletin board Main Room, scroll down to "A Tasmanian Experience". The story starts on page 15 and runs through to about page 45. After the restoration I have pretty much documented every time I have used Torea with photos etc and as you will find out, it has had very little use!
I have posted some video on the CAWPBA Facebook site of Torea underway but if you can't find it I am happy to forward whatever you need if interested, cheers.

Dragged Torea out of shed today gave her a wash and a run on the hose as I’m going to add the video of her running on the clubs Facebook page as being for sale. This also shows the engineered extended draw for easy launch and retrieval that may not of been posted before?

Well Torea has been on the market for nearly 12 months and I am still interested in selling her. I understand the risk of buying something with a second hand motor and with that in mind I would like to offer a second option of buying her without engine and dog clutch for $10,000. I may be able to assist with delivery?

Alan/Darren, that bloke we spoke to at the VSBC meet - the shearer from Kyneton. Just the boat he was looking for??

Ahoy all, the top photo indicates that this post over a period of a few years has had over 36,000 views? Obviously some doubling up etc but still obviously a fair bit of interest.
I’m happy to report that Torea is sold and her new custodian lives in northern Tasmania so in the end it was a hassle free sale to a previous member of this club who has owned a Lewis clinker runabout so knows what he is buying! The two relevant attached photos is of my delivery of Torea to the northern part of state outside a period correct establishments based in the historic town of Ross.

Congrats Chivs. That's good to hear it will go to a good home by the sounds of it.
There's nothing like a period correct photo. You were almost there with the Holden tow car too!

Great news Chivs. Alan Mansfield?

[Alan]

Or does he have a history with a bit of steam?

[Chivs]

Correct Greg, Allan I’m told that Bruce Jessup has sold his steam boat! Cheers boys
