1979 Whiteline

This is a Whiteline runabout built in 1979 by Whiteline in Gosford NSW. The boat, trailer and 85hp Johnson Javelin motor are all original. The boat was fairly well kept, but over time the structural members of the boat have suffered rot, so we're replacing the Transom, Floor and Stringers, and giving the boat a make over while we're at it. The bottom of the hull will be repaired, the deck polished and the topsides re-finished in tow-pack marine paint. The interior trim will be updated, acrylic replaced in the windscreen, and gunwale replaced. Some fittings wil be re-chromed, the trailer will receive some new bearings and re-covered skids and the engine fully serviced and painted. This boat belongs to a customer and won't be for sale.

This little beauty we believe was built in the 60's. It has had a hard life and has the same structural problems as the Whiteline. We will be fully restoring this boat; the Transom, Floor and Stringers will be replaced and then we will decide whether to restore it to its former glory, or turn it into a well appointed centre console fishing boat. Either way it will come up better than new. We will be commencing this project a little later in the year so check in regularly for updates.

CruiseCraft 17' 1/2 Cab

We believe this is a CruiseCraft Contender from the 70's. It is going to recieve a full restoration this winter and will be finished for summer, ready for a new owner. The boat will undergo a full structural re-build of Transom, Stringers & Floor, a fresh Marine two-pack paint job, a new moulded Vee-berth, pedestal seats, new acrylic in the windows, a new bimini cover and more. The boat will be fitted with a reliable second-hand 70hp Evinrude motor, serviced and ready for action. This will be an ideal first boat, or for a family wanting to get out on the water this summer. She might not look like much now, but watch this page for updates and photos as she progresses through the restoration process. We'll show you how an old boat ready for the tip can be restored back to original or better.
