    Default Gday from Perth WA!

    Hello everyone. I have browsed over these forums for the past few years searching for information on anything from opinions on compressors and spray guns to surface finishes. I now have a reason to become a member! I've just bought a 1960's plywood speedboat and will be eagerly reading and asking many questions in order to return this old girl to her former glory =)

    Cheers


    Chris

    Default welcome

    no doubt you'll get the right advice here.

    How about some pics of the boat as you fix her up?

    cheers, billy

    Thanks Billy! I've just posted some pics of how she looks right now, and of a fully restored boat of the same model. It's in a thread in the wooden boats section, under building/repairing. May take a while to show up, as it said the message with the pic links must be approved by a moderator before it is put up.
