We recently serviced a Tollycraft 52 that required assistance with replacing damaged propellers and repairing a bent rudder. Additionally, we repacked the rudder glands, reglassed the transom penetrations and stern logs due to water leakage, and removed an old generator set to increase storage space for the owner.

On Australia Day, what began as a leisurely break transformed into a salvage operation for a vessel stranded on the rocks. After constructing a timber cradle to stabilize the boat, we waited until high tide to refloat it. Although the vessel sustained significant damage early in the day, it is currently in our workshop for the client.

Today we pulled out this 9.6m x 7m trimaran for some maintenance on a keel pulley and a fresh coat of anti foul. This is the first boat to be pulled out on our newest trailer. We still have plenty of mods to do, to make it capable of much larger vessels but works fine for this application for the time being as all our other trailers are in use. Get in contact with us and see if we can help you with all your marine needs.
