Guest DV8 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Nice job on the quinnie. Looks fiddley!! Gave up the idea of doing mine years ago. davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Well done on the Quinny, looks more than just a 6 pack project. I have just purchased a similar boat with no middle seat and am looking at removing the rear seat to have a flat bottom, installing an opening windscreen with the anchor well up the front and installing an under floor fuel tank. I am also hoping to move the battery to under the nose to maximise the space down the back. This no doubt will be a long term project!!!! Has anyone attempted anything similar?

james1990 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 WOW the old quinnie really turned up good, i bet there was many hours and about as many beers put into restoring it, she looks the goods. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoducks Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 WOW the old quinnie really turned up good, i bet there was many hours and about as many beers put into restoring it, she looks the goods. cheers james Took 4 or 5 weekends and i mucked about with it pretty much every night during the week. A few beers were sunk as they say..lol. The beers in the pic were just the ones i had while thinking where to start..lol Cheers Twoducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all done and i want another boat to make over,haha. Few pics of it in the final stages Very tidy there Strikey,yep it does get addictive! just wondering did your boat have a middle seat?, My mates toying with the idea of removing his for a bit of extra room. Also the old 50hp you see on the boat is being replaced this week with a new 40 Yammy...Bloody show off he is if you ask me...lol. Think he just wants to try and beat my old De Haviland with my old 40 Mariner..lmao Edited January 22, 2007 by twoducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikey pete Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey twoducks, Mine didnt have a middle seat when i got it, it only had the rear seat.Front bench had been removed and a floor installed with 2 crappy seats which i replaced. In terms of room it makes a heap of difference. I think your mate is trying to top u for sure with the 50hp, you will be toying with the idea of a De Haviland restoration next,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well done, your patience and hard work is to be admired!!! Question: I have a 2003 Quintrex coast runner, where the hinges are for the window there are rust stains. The screws for the hinge look to be stainless steel, so why is it rusting. Should the screws be alloy of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeinsyd Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Two thumbs up for your work on the quinny mate... great job! Is that 40 yammy the 2 cly model which is fairly light weight? If it is the same model, I would really like to hear how it performs trolling/ ideling/ fuel performance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the same model, I would really like to hear how it performs trolling/ ideling/ fuel performance etc. Yes its the two cylinder yammy, It was taken out on Australia Day for the first time,more or less for a small run in. He hasnt had a chance to try trolling yet. but he was more than impressed with the ease of starting and performance, pushed the old girl along no problem. Oh and as far as the fishing went not alot about just the usual small stuff and the ever present Catfish!! Cheers Twoducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the screws be alloy of some sort? Will get my mate to have a look at his asap,been a while since we put her together. Just cant remember if the hinges were held by stainless screws or rivets. You can get rust/staining if they are normal steel screws against alloy/Aluminium. Usually we use either stainless rivets or stainless nuts/bolts/screws.

OK in fresh water , hopeless in salt water The correct grade is 316 , generally only available from boating shops like Bias , Whitworth etc Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tom Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 316 Grade.... thanks guys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
