I'm not sure of the boat's brand, but I do know I bought it about 10 years ago from the guy who had fully restored it in NSW. He stripped it right back to frame etc. It was built in the late 60s or 70s and the regularly serviced Johnson outboard is a 1969 40HP that is in great condition and runs very well - it's a classic in it's own right (I have the original manual and it's included). The boat has been registered since I bought it and had light use on the Tarwin River and Anderson's Inlet in southern Victoria. It's been well looked after (motor flushed, hull sprayed etc after every use) and it lives under a vinyl cover in a car port.The boat (but not the trailer) is useable as is, but it really should be serviced, repainted and cleaned up in the near future. There is paint peeling on the bottom of the hull (the wood remains sound though), there's a few cracks in upper ledges (nothing that affects seaworthiness though), and the mahogany should be given some attention soon also. The vinyl roof folds down but does have a few tears in it. I've included photos of all the shortcomings. The seats and interior carpet etc are A1.Please note the trailer is not useable in my opinion. It's just too rusty and I wouldn't trust the bearings or hubs to make it to the front gate, let alone beyond. I'd recommend bringing a trailer to transfer it onto, or putting the whole thing onto a flatbed to move it. Please note though, this a wooden boat, so it's heavy.I'll include a lovely pair of period wooden oars, landing hook, a pair of adult Pfd's, outboard flushing hardware, manual for the outboard, rope ladder, fuel tank, faded cover, battery, bailer, etc.
