INVESTIGATOR 563

I know what you mean about the Kombi, my brothers one ($2K off an old lady), a touch earlier than yours (late 80's) could hardly make it over the West gate bridge here in Melb. Which you had to use when surfing the west coast. That bridge ended up being it's demise with it's next owner. A great camp...

Pete & Ozzie,
Thank you so much for your time & feed back, you guy's are legends. I've read a lot of the advice you've provided throughout this forum. So glad I discovered this vessel and community.

G'day all,
I'm the new proud owner of this vessel and have just recently registered to this Forum.
I'll have lots of work to do on it, so I'll be seeking advice.

Thanks in advance.
Clav.
