January 2014- 20ft(6mtrs) including the rear deck. Tassie Oak frames, stringers, huon and gabon marine ply with 3mm ply laminate and stained top decks and sides. Holden 308 V8 (5ltr). I bought the plans for the bonanza back in 2010. started framing for this build in 2011 and quickly ran out of room. Luckily in 2012 I was able to build a bigger shed in the backyard to accommodate the build and the hull was started in early 2013. Mid 2013 I really got enthused and spent at least 10 hours every week on the build. Total hours to date is about 400, probably another 20hours to go on a couple more final coats and bits and pieces, but it is in the water and we will use it for the rest of summer and I will put it back in the shed this winter to work thru all the final trimmings and any bugs we find after it is run-in.....aherrett@au1.ibm.com

Bonanza II is powered with a \'56 V-8 Buick Century engine and propelled with a Berkley Pump. The deck is African Mahogany with Zebra Wood enlayed veneer. The boat trailer was also built by Darroll McLaughlin.

23 May 2006 My name is Shane Robinson and I wanted to share some pictures of my boat. This is the 17 ft Bonanza. It was built in 1962-1963 by my grandpa and my dad. It has a 1959 chevy 283 with powerpack heads, 1965 Corvette intake and carb and Corvette valve covers. I put an ISKY cam and Mallory dual point distributor in it. I was clocked going 42 MPH with the stock cam and distributor. Now it will outrun a new ski Sanger with a 350.
