Trailcraft Info ?
Submitted by C.mon u Bastard on Mon, 2011-02-07 16:22
Gday.
This is my dinghy. If any experienced trailcraft people could offer any info, be cool? year of manufacture etc...
I started to rip the floor up as i wanted to install a cheapy bilge pump (cause of last weeks freak storm). Noticed heaps of sand. So i then stripped all of the flooring out. Heaps of sand, sea-weed and old fishing tackle. I cleaned it out and scraped any flaking paint. Had planned on repainting it, but have run out of time. i.e i want to take it out fishing tomorow.
If anyone knows of a source for the decals, please let me know? as I'd like to repaint the outside at some stage too.
thanks for checking it out.

boat rego
Your boat rego papers should indicate the date of manufacture, but going by the numbers i would guess early 80 s

yamaha engine has letter 'D'
yamaha engine has letter 'D' or 'O' - lower right corner indicating 1990-91.
Part of HIN number - 8508 could indicate august 1985 as build date.
No reference to year of manufacture of license papers.
thank you all.

i would pressure clean the floor i did that to mine when i pulled it appart
its amazing all the sinkers line and crap under there
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Used the high pressure cleaner on it, scoured parts of the floor and sides.
Didn't get around to painting it.
Wired in the bilge pump.
