Fantastic, thanks Larks. I will take your advice and flip her over. The motor is out, and the lead ballast was loose, so that's out too. Shouldn't be pretty easy to get her over.

Wanted: Hull up to 24' to convert to "putt putt" or steam launch
Ideally, something clinker, 22-22' long, and fairly beamy. Will consider shorter hulls. I'm in Perth. Thanks all.
