noelguyau Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Just thought I would share a couple of pics of our new boat. Dad and I spent 2 years and a lot of time and money rebuilding this gem from the ground up. Had her maiden the other day, and I am happy to say she performed brilliantly. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/ Edited March 15, 2015 by DIAMONDBACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bessell1955 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 How old is the boat? It looks brand new, you both must be proud of your result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelguyau Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Before we started it it was going to be cut up with the chainsaw, that's how bad it was. Sat in the back of dads backyard for 15 years rotting with no cover. We decided to rebuild her when mum died and name her in her honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelguyau Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Boat would be early 80's maybe, brand new now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Mate, I've been waiting for the day you put up this post. What an awesome looking boat. Lots of hard work there. But you've finished right towards the end of marlin season! I know you'd be hanging to get out. At least you've got the boat for it now! Tight lines, Cheers scratchie!!!

a boat Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The boat isa credit to Noel and his Dad, Keith. The work they have done to her to bring her back to her best is fantastic-it is one of the best renos I have seen. With the new powerplant the old girl has never gone as fast or accelerated as hard as she does and driving her from the flybridge is an experience going quick. The best bit is the cruise numbers, which is what the boys were chasing and compared to the original power it has given a new lease of life and many more years of enjoyment.
