Stabi Project

[Smithy]

Just got the pics from Darren who bought my Stabi. He has gone to town on it and done a ripper job. He is out at Tamworth but his son is going to Uni at Newcastle so they are hoping to get out of Port Stephens a bit.

How it started life.

Good on him gave the old girl a new life. Some bloody good welds too

Looks great Smithy.

[No Fear]

A paint job does wonders for any boat......And the price he paid for it, he would have a spare bit of change to do a bit of rejuvenation. (sorry to rub it in Smithy).
Looking forward to seeing some of his reports (doubt whether he will catch as many fish as the last owner).
Thanks for the update.

Great pix. Thanks!

Did it really need painting?

Looks great but I prefer the blue. Were those last shots taken off Crowdy Head?
