INVESTIGATOR 563

Following Ian's lead I have placed an invite only on the Google site. Any current members should not receive spam again. Not that I am expecting any more members now that the paid site is up.

Yes this was in saturday's Newcastle Herald. Seems good at the price, funny I never see this guy on the lake. There is one 563 at Valentine where his launch picture is taken but that is not it.

I emailed the seller to pass on the forum address to the new owner.

Thanks Robert and Ian I am surprised the core is so thick but I assume thats why the 563 feels so solid underfoot. Robert that is a good site I have added it to my favourites. What kind of vent did you use, that was one of my planned additions. I want a screw down type for heavy weather but I also c...

While browsing threads on TSP I have noted reference to "cored deck" I which is as I understand it timber between two layers of glass. Does the 563 have a cored deck? I'm curious because I intend to get my standing rigging redone on the next haul out and add a few other hull fittings. Rese...
