Hey Team, been a long time between posts.

This old Savage came to us with a cracked transom, which then escalated into a full rebuild with all the fruit.

She came to us with a fair bit of sentimental value and an equal amount of rot and poor workmanship.

In her past someone had removed a huge section of the hull bottom (directly where the old engine room may have been) and patched it very poorly, we're talking a 1 metre squared section that was not really attached to anything, We have no idea why it was like this, we can only guess.

✅ Holes, cracks fixed
✅ Hull bottom straightened and re-gelcoated
✅ Inner hull skin beefed up
✅ 80kg foam core on hull sides
✅ Full composite structure
✅ New composite cabin
✅ Insulated kill bin
✅ Live bait tank
✅ New 240L stainless fuel tank
✅ Grab rail with rocket launchers
✅ Side pockets in cockpit and cabin
✅ Full fitout
✅ 2 pack hull sides, deck and cabin
✅ Fully re wired
✅ New glass windows
✅ Fuel in the tank
✅ Water tested

Big thanks to our suppliers and contractors for helping us complete our biggest rebuild to date.

And an extra thanks to the owner for trusting us with your vessel, it was an amazing journey. We hope it brings a lifetime of memories.

So another little project we were proud to be part of was 3 X 3m tall Yoshi eggs for the new Mario movie. Due to their complex shape, the easiest way to lay these up was with the chopper gun.

All 3 were installed around Darling Harbour.

Hey Team, we are in the process of building brand new boats under our sister company Venator Boats, these boats are based off the old school 565 Haines, slightly modified with wider chines, and the classic "Haines hook" removed from the bottom and sides. At this stage we have 2 brand new decks, a centre console and a half cabin. We have popped out the first hull from the mold, and we are currently working on the half cabin plug, check out our website for more details. Boat, motor and trailer packages start at $110K

PM, email or call for more details and individual pricing

This beast of a Haines 635L came in for a full width hull extension to take a 300hp Suzuki.

The throw-away mold was formed off the existing hull, as were the planing strakes and chines. Mold was prepped, gelcoated, then a heap of glass and a 38mm transom was glued and glassed in. Slots were cut in the original transom and the main stringers were run about 1200mm into the boat to join onto the original stringers, which will be replaced in the near future. The old antifoul was removed and the underside of the hull was re gelcoated.

Little something we had the pleasure of working on recently. Thanks Tecevo
