Incase any one is interested there is a wooden (Ply outer over fibre glass inner) surfboat, on trailer, with oars for sale on E-bay for $2000 (Pick up in Coff's)

Matt,

Anymore info at all as I could not find it. Do you know the exact sale item name?

Dave

I remember the boat for sale at Kurrawa about 4-5 years ago. The guy bought it to use at motivational seminars.

I am interested is this boat still available.

It was at some Christian revival centre at either Bonville (near Coffs Harbour) Stuarts Point (near Macksville). Cannot remember. In fact i think they were Cleaver oars. The boat may have come from Southport (Qld).

Hi Tony, I am looking for several wooden boats to use in a film we are shooting on the Gold Coast. With view to hire or purchase.

Do you want full timber boats or faux-timber?
When do you want them?
How much do you pay?
If you f__k it, you fix it?
Do you want timber oars?
How about boat belts?

Kingy would lend you Newports

Bob, There are plenty of boats around that have timber veneer on the external hull but have a Blue gelcoat /fibre glass finish on the interior.

For older style full timber boats, you would possibly be pushing your luck to have a Club release these precious items for "surf use".

Kim Marsh has a genuine "double ender" 30's model boat. It's full timber like the boats here http://www.asrl.com.au/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=36&func=view&id=14006&catid=2&limit=15&limitstart=15

There are plenty of options. Depends on what you want to do with these boats.

Michael King is a good contact.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Do you want full timber boats or faux-timber? Say three full timber and ten faux timber
When do you want them? At this stage between 20th July to 5th Sept.
How much do you pay? thats negotiable
If you f__k it, you fix it? All will be fully insured
Do you want timber oars? Timber oars would be great
How about boat belts? No

Thanks Bob.

Thanks Toni, The boats will not be used in the surf just in calm water, most will be back ground props in scenes and ideally a couple of full timbers in the foreground to sell the fact that all are timber. We would also like to dress them up to give them an old world appearance, fix a small mast and furled sail to one or two. So generally to dress a small harbour with a number of boats of same hull design with a few variations.
