"BLOWN SILLY" .......aka "STIRRER"






A family heirloom, this wild Whiteley hot rod packing a blown rat is cherished by bro's Mick & Chris. Dad's old girl "STIRRER" was dragged out from under the house after a 15+ year lay off before the fellas performed this stink'n hot rebuild. Unfortunately the original finish could not be retained due to sunlight turning her starboard side pink so the "BLOWN SILLY" guise complete with airbrushing and metal mountain was the order of the day. Traditionalist's need not lose sleep as the fellas plan on returning her to original appearance down the track, it's just that she's still lookin' way too good to repaint.
Bet she's a hairy ride! Best just give 'em a wave out on Lake Moogerah 'cause you wont catch her ;)

    1. ^^^I'm positive she is glass. The trailing edge of planks around transom does fool most. Timber dash, coaming, etc. ....super COOL boat!
