Restored Putt-Putt – Sydney

This magnificent putt putt, 16’ long and 6’ 4” wide, and believed to have been built in the Northern Rivers of NSW around 1927, has been meticulously restored from the keel up.

She is a seam batten carvel construction with beech planking, has been glassed on the outside and given a superb paint finish.

About half of the ribs have been replaced, there are new spotted gum stringers, new white ash coamings and gunwales, and a new cedar and spruce deck laid over marine ply.

She has a Simplex motor with FNR gearbox (also restored), a new shaft, propeller and stainless fuel tank. Similarly, the deck fittings, seats, cover and sun cover are also new.

The trailer has been custom-built and has a Sea-go battery-driven remote-controlled motor system to enable manoeuvring when ashore for storage.            

This boat is fully equipped and ready to use.    It is being offered at about half the cost of restoration and is certainly a boat for those who appreciate fine timber craftsmanship.  She also comes with a complete pictorial record and diary of the restoration. 

The Boat and the Trailer can be inspected at Bayview on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Price $29,000. Phone Tony on 0416-183-516.
