Owens Brunswick 1959

Post by Galaxy »

Hi all,

This is my first post.

Purchased an Owens Winsor Brunswick I believe, as the old owner explained.

Could any of the members offer some knowledge to identify the true model & year.

Kindest Regards

Andy

Hi, this one is from 1966 on. Earlier late 1950s versions of the hull were called the Brisbane and had a near flat bottom hull, this one has a decent V profile so you have the best of the model. Later they became called Bry-Owen, and after that through the late 70s and very early 80s Sussex Ski Boat...

Unfortunately the boat has been outside without any cover for around 20 years
The complete boat has been sanded down and machine polished to a gloss level 94% which is high given she's over 50 years old.
The windscreen you couldn't see through, however sanded down and highly polished to a clear view :chuffed:
The blue paint was brushed on giving a flat finish and then polished.
Still loads to do
Fitted all new steering cables + wheel + control cables ,the engine is a Mercury 1982 - now fully running
