Hi Gaylynda ,
She is a very nice looking craft .
As an indicator there has been a 1961 cabin runabout , also on the Georges River, on Ebay for many months at $5900 .
Motor now said to be not working .
You may well have seen it but Ebay is another of your good options .
Would like to buy it myself but over committed

Thanks Neil
Thought I should also post photos of the Port side.

I'm fascinated by the hatch setup on the cabin roof. If you have the time, would you be able to post a picture of it from both the outside and the inside? It looks great.

Neil, yes, the boat on eBay is aesthetic, but the fact that it hasn't sold suggests the price ain't right! I suppose that wooden boats can be tricky in terms of rot etc, and I have just been lucky to have one in good condition.

Hey  A
You can't have my hatch style SX -2 and Gaylynda 's 
She looks a nice dry solid craft .

As to the Ebay boat ,  it has been up for quite a while .
I mailed the owner some time ago as to it's pedigree .
At the time she said it was imported from H.K in 1961 and motor was a goer .
More info now it reveals she was built by -Hiptimco - a very reputable builder .

(previously known for making titanium joint replacement products) 

Hull would be retro much more akin to 1930/40 '.

You might buy Gay's for your daughters ' future .

I'll tow it down and have glass of red and much fun !

Cheers
Neil

Neil, I thought SX2s hatch was on the foredeck, like mine, but  with some "jerry rigged" contraption to open it from the helm! It was quite a clever set up actually....I have to admit.

Gaylinda looks to have a hatch on the cabin roof, as well as one on the foredeck.....or, are I imagining things?

A

[senojn]

Yes A  I misread your post .
SX-2 has the flush foredeck hatch but I could use a cabin roof hatch to get more airflow.
Meanwhile the 2yo 21 ft Hartley on Ebay is being sold by a 'guy' called Mercman737 .

Hi boys,
A guy called Mercman 737. How funny!

Perhaps I should have placed a copyright on the word Mercman?.. LMAO

MERCMAN.

Will try and take some photos on the weekend and get back to you.
Yes there is a hatch on the foredeck and one on the cabin roof.
Foredeck hatch has a wind up system which allows you to go at speed without it flipping up, but when you need to deploy the anchor the wind up can be released and the hatch rests against the windscreen.
Cabin roof hatch slides forward and has perspex inserts to raise it to the level of the bimini to create a weatherproof system.

I have sold the old girl for $4,500 on ebay - her new home will be on Moreton Bay.

[senojn]

Well done Gayle .
It's hard to get what we think they are worth .
She has gone to a good home up north !
