Built in 63. Beautiful lines and it looks in great condition. You can see the CC heritage there.

Heres our old girl same lines Built in 1961, by Jim Golly in Pt Adelaide.
Shes a 21 footer weighs 3 ton has a 3.3 litre Volvo V8 in her that idles at 250 rpm and spins out to 5800 Rpm. It sits on a Gordon Tregoning Gal trailer, still no rust on trailer, no rot in the boat and sounds like a top fuel dragster at full noise. The boat was about 7 years old in this Photo. Oh the tractor is dead completely rusted solid.

Cheers.

Hmmm strange piccy has a Aus fish Icon on it bottom right.. will try again.70693

I'd be all over that like a wet woolly jumper if I wasn't so busy at the moment.
What a ripper.

Kiekhaefer is just an early name for Mercury.
Carl Kiekhaefer started Mercury.

Attachment is not working RAG man.

Not a project for me Seriola but Finga still has two days or so to change his mind. It would be perfect for the steam engine he's been looking at. You could only imagine him launching it at the R to M or even better the 1770 M and G. Think I'd fly up and be crew for that one.

Roughy Didn't know you had something special hidden away there. Have another go at posting the pics. do you take it out much?

JJ nah the boat stays garaged for years at a time it's with my Brother in SA but she will start and run but you need to put a sprinkler inside and some towels to let the timbers take up for a couple of days. Otherwise He he glug glug!!!.

Brother Has a 2 year old 702 Signature that is ready to go with out leaks these days.

Cheers.
