1977 16ft SC Holiday re-do

I heard it a lot when I was living in Australia but that's about it.

No wonder I haven't clue what it means, and I don't call anybody "mate", not even my wife.

:lol: :laugh: :rofl:ound:

The younger generation has come up with an acronym for just about anything you can think of and as said by BRW, calling someone a "Mate" is very common in Australia and I heard it quite often while on a bear hunt in Nova Scotia a few years ago.

Awesome work to be proud of for sure! :thumb:

It is super cool to have people at the launch recognize that the boat is old but looks brand new.

I've been thinking about a new 4 Stroke Merc too, but 12k for a 115 and no controls seems like a crazy high price. Then I turn the key and my old smooth running 140 Merc fires right off and gets my heavy SS to 45 .

Agreed. The price of these new 4 strokes are up there, but well worth it in my opinion. They're so economical, quiet and smooth running, especially at lower rpms is where they really shine compared to a 2 stroke.

I'm a little late to the party. Congrats on the splash No-Ah! That is some outstanding work you did there, the boat looks fantastic. I really love the repower to, got me thinking that I may have to do that for my next project. Maybe when the kid is done university.

Thanks for popping in Candutch and kind words. I'm super thrilled how the Holi SS performs with her makeover along with the new 4 stroke Merc. Nice pairing. It'll be well worth the wait.

Two pics from today....before the messy, fumes galore [cough cough] back buttering of 5200......woh it's wicked in the hangar tonite!

Digging this restomod thread! Can I ask what the aluminum overlays are for on both lower sides of the transom? Many of the earlier pics in the thread arent showing due to the photobucket scam/fiasco. Is that to cover heavy pitting?
