Wooden Cutter 25 ft 'Stranger'
Here is a little ripper....bit of work I'd imagine and it would be wise to have her checked out if you where serious.

Don't you just love how they tell you that this is a "No Reserve" auction and then start the bidding at $4000 ..... to me that looks like a reserve.

Stranger is up on eBay again, this time with a price tag of $3200
By the way, i have no connection with the boat. It would be a great shame for this one to be allowed to deteriorate.giz·mol·o·gy also gis·mol·o·gy n., pl.giz·mol·o·gies. The scientific study of, or the body of knowledge pertaining to, gizmos.

There is a lot to like about the old girl , if you were up to the rebuild , she could be a nice little fishing boat .
I'd have to get someone to do the work for me , and then it gets pricey .
Yes , I reckon she could sail a bit too.

Hallam , I've just been talking to Garry Stewart at Port Fairy.
He has a book which features this boat , on the slip at Port Lincoln in '36 .
He says she was a very smart looking boat , set up to sail , built for a Mr Fuss.
The Macfarlanes built a lot of this style of boat , and they were very good .

Wooden Fishing Boats by Gifford Chapman is Garry's reference , and here is "Stranger" on the slip.
Notice she had no engine , when launched.
Gee , that book was depressing after a while , just hundreds of boats , and fishermen lost in SA , over the years.
The book of course includes the Stenross boats too.

Hallam , I was searching for something else a day or 2 ago , and saw that there was one of the Chapman books for sale.
Might be worth a search.

Here is an interesting find re Stranger. There are some pics and details of stranger on this web page of a Uriversity Thesis student:
http://www.flinders.edu.au/ehl/fms/a...Sheffi2006.pdf
Of course there are probably a few boats built with the same name but the boat looks the same as in your pic, especialy if you look at how the name is written. However the builder
is stated as W.T. Habert in in 1884and the L 41.1'Last edited by Hallam; 11th May 2011 at 11:06 AM. Reason: correct upload of pics

Obviously a much earlier boat.
I see the Stranger for sale didn't draw a bid.
