When I am not playing with classic cars, I have a more money hungry hobby... Classic Boats.
This is my current project, "Pepyana" a 30 Foot shallow draft timber boat built all the way back in 1918.
Dad and I are restoring the hull and bringing out some of her beautiful lines and building a full new deck and cabin.
She will be powered by a 75hp Turbo Diesel Volvo Penta.
Ugly cab and rails, but I could see the potential under all the crap
60t Crane to lift her over Mum and Dads front fence
Its tear down time... Nothing is safe and everything from the gunwale up is going to be scrapped.
Tear down
How you can see her pretty lines...
Temp shed to slow down the Aussie sun.
The woodwork has begun. New inner gunwale and the start of the bulwark posts
The start of new floor beams and the side deck beams.
So I am silly enough to be building a boat and a car at the same time. Some say this is the beginning of a life lesson
Let me know if you car guys want me to keep rolling with some updates?
