INVESTIGATOR 563

The case against is growing. The fumes factor, wave surge, vibration as well as lost space seem to outweigh the advantages of protected engine and accessability. (Probably why the well was discontinued on later Investigators.) Maybe a spare small outboard in the locker instead would be a better idea...

Notice you are located in Hobart - half your luck ! just arrived back from Tassie holiday and contemplating returning with Investigator. Freycinet peninsula/ D'Entrecasteaux channel and the Tamar idyllic spots for sailing. Can't nelp you directly but noticed this couple had sailed a trailer sailer a...

Curious as to how the original motor sat in the port locker outboard well. Was there a hole through the bottom of the locker for the outboard leg or did it poke out through the transom. Also how did the motor swivel down. You might think I have finally taken leave of my senses but I think it was a g...

Seasons Greeting to all and a great New Year
Also thanking Ian and Clayton for this site and its friendly and invaluable help.
As the sun sinks below the yardarm I'm having a drink to your health and future adventures in this wonderful little boat.

Very professional and a real adventure.

Good luck anyhow - sounds like a lot of fun. Congrats on your retirement Ozzie - Llike myself - now you c...

I have posted GPS links on the technical board/ useful links/ navigation aids. The garmin e-trex h unit - cheap and cheerful is enough for my needs. (I also like the feel of real maps and charts protractors etc -call me old fashioned.) Besides, Murphy dispenses his usual rough justice on anything mo...

Hi
Different alright. Spectacular looking boat. Sad when so much love and care has obviously been put into it and having to abandon it due to ill health. A salutory lesson for myself and others I think to get out there now and enjoy it.
cheers
