"BEAR-ASS"



Blessed ...get a load of the backyard!!!


Jamie picked up this little bewdy for his 'first dip in the water' ...off to a flying start mate! Holden 253 provides a sweet note and gets her along quite nicely. Plans are for plenty of use on the Hawkesbury this season followed by a resto next year ...to be continued ;)

What is she ?? A boat this sweet deserves to be recognized. There is quite a few out there and regulars might also recall Bryce's "MOODY BLUES" which is of the same ilk. I have a collection of pics of this type hull all naming each differently with 'Skimaster Cyclone' coming from the most reliable source ...then Jamie's 'Bear Craft' popped up earlier in the year and threw more confusion into the mix. Comparing hundreds of pics I'd say the hull was copied from an early glass Lewis with a different deck popped on. Has anyone heard of a 'Bear Craft' .....CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EASE OUR PAIN. cheers.
