PELORUS JACK – What became of her

Last week I was contacted by Lewis Horrell looking for intel on a woody that his grandfather – Clifford Horrell rebuilt / restored. Lewis commented that it was probably a long shot but thats what we deal in at WW. I’ll let Lewis tell the story – 

“This is a long shot but I’m hoping you may have acces to a photo that may shed some light on the finished product of a project my grandad finished and sold. He bought the damaged Pelorus Jack race boat after it was in a shed fire. He extended the top deck and made it into a very unique cabin cruiser. This is where my hopes of a finished moored picture comes in as its very distinctive. Pelorus Jack was a very successful stepped hydroplane and it retained the stepped hull once converted. The above pictures of the boat show her in her racing days and what it looked like after grandad converted it. It had a V8 in it to my knowledge. It was sold to a man in Methven who then moored it in Picton until it got rot and was burnt.”

So woodys can we help Lewis out.
