Time to make Chugga shine! ✨

We've started sanding down the hull, getting her ready for a fresh coat of paint. Still plenty of work ahead, but it's great to see things moving along! 😊

Hard bimini has been fibreglassed and fixed in place. Chugga is really starting to look good.

The old hard bimini was completely rotted out so we are constructing a new one. Owner has also requested we extend further into the cockpit to provide better protection for the crew. This has required us to extend the timber supports to provide the necessary stability.

Couple of pics of some of the work we have been doing on Chugga. She is coming along really well and we are starting on the new hardtop soon.

The rebuild

THE CHUGGA PROJECT — PART 4

Finally — we're putting things back instead of pulling them off! 🔨

With the damaged timber removed, the rebuild of Chugga is well underway.

New timber is being shaped and fitted through the gunwales and cabin structure, with plenty of measuring, fitting, gluing, clamping and fairing along the way.

It's the part of a repair that eventually disappears under paint — but it's also the part that matters.

She's starting to look like Chugga again.

Things get worse before they get better

THE CHUGGA PROJECT — PART 3

Sometimes fixing a boat means making it look considerably worse first! 😂

With the rotten timber removed, Chugga was looking a little bare.

The cabin structure, roof and gunwales all needed attention, so it was a case of stripping everything back far enough to make sure we weren't leaving problems hidden underneath.

No shortcuts — if it's rotten, it's coming out.

Next job: putting Chugga back together.

What we found 😬

THE CHUGGA PROJECT — PART 2

Well, once we started pulling things apart, we discovered she was hiding a little more than we bargained for. 😬

Water had made its way into the timber around the cabin and window frames, and the rot was considerably more extensive than it looked from the outside.

There wasn't much point patching over this.

Time to start cutting it out and get back to solid timber.

Small leak. Big damage. 😬

The silicone around these trim tab screws had failed, letting water into the hull.

The result? Rusted trim tabs, water absorption and a much bigger repair than expected.

A good example of why small leaks on boats are worth fixing early!Amazing how much damage a little bit of failed silicone can cause!

If you spot something on your boat that doesn’t look quite right, give us a call 0495 009996— it’s always better to catch it early!

Meet "Chugga"

Chugga has found herself a long way from home — Raymond Island to our workshop at Westernport Marina.

And she's come to us for a bit more than a holiday. 😬

This old girl needs some attention around the cabin, roof and timberwork. As anyone with an older boat knows, though, you don't always know exactly what you're dealing with until you start pulling things apart.

And let's just say... Chugga had a few surprises waiting for us.

We’ll show you what we found in Part 2.

Your anchor winch should be pulling up the anchor... not the deck! 😄

This boat is having the mounting area reinforced to better handle the loads placed on the anchor winch.

It's one of those jobs you never see once it's finished—but it's one of the most important.
