I was down on my boat yesterday and saw this being trailered out of the water. I couldn't help myself going for a look and taking a few pics.



He said this 7 hp Yanmar pushes her along up to 10 knots.

And with this nice big prop, I reckon she might.

She is built from strip ply. I really like the phallic bow sprit. That was added to make her tack through the wind.



She has a gaff rig. It was designed and built a local here who has since traded it with the current owner for a BMW 650 off road bike. It was on Gumtree for $10,000.

Nice one Cisco,
The planks are actually ply? All cut to shape? Great idea, would they be hard to keep waterproof ?
How did the planks go from being lapped clinker style to sitting on top of each other at the transom ?
Great little boat, some boats "owner built" like this are really ugly, but she's a little beauty, just needs a name !

She looks lovely - where were the photos taken

Burnett Heads boat ramp car park. Good launching spot whether you want to go outside or stay in the river.
