Hi MarkPierce, yes I suppose similarish. I wonder what motor she has....

Thanks all for the welcome. Manyboats, she's a water cooled engine, running at about 80 degrees Centigrade. I had to rebuild the old heat exchanger for a new aluminium one. I also need to slip her in the next few weeks.

Welcome Brenton . Looks like your trawler is hauled out under the Ansac bridge. Will be a great project and we will look forward to your progress. Just hope it is not as extreme as Hendo :-):-):-)

I am based in Middle Harbour. Was she up near Sugarloaf? Where do you intend to keep her now?

Gidday Brenton,
Im new here too mate welcome.
We have purchased a timber trawler 9 months ago aswell, looks to be roughly at the same stage, trawlers without the fishing gear on them a blank canvas so to speak which is what we where after, lots of work coming our way mate but will be worth it.
Cheers
Troy
