What brand/model boat is this?

[Lis065]

Hi all. Trying to ID this cruiser. All I know is that it was manufactured circa 1965. Thank you

I can’t even remember the name of the TV show, but remember watching it.
That wasn’t Flipper was it?
I think I remember it was a twin engine and there may have been something unusual about the throttles?

[Lis065]

It was from the Australian series ‘Skippy The Bush Kangaroo’ .

Then I’m way off then, cause I doubt I ever saw that.

I think it's a Savage from the 70's or 80's, can't remember the model, it might come to mind later!!

I may try contacting the boating authority in Australia as this particular boat was used in New South Wales (Sydney). The gather the same number would have been used throughout its life - JG18N.

Certainly use in NSW; the N suffix to the registration denotes NSW. You could try to contact Roads & Maritime NSW, but due to our crazy privacy laws I doubt they will help. Grady White boats were not imported to Aus until much later. I still think it is one of John Savage's boats, but the badge on the rear side does not look quite right.

I'm pretty sure that the ranger drove a Woodson in Flipper.

Show was Australian "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" Flipper was from USA I think!

Yes, Flipper was filmed in Miami, FL

Remarkable coincidence: An episode of "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" was being shown on TV this morning! I rarely turn on in mornings, but was looking for news of bushfires; up pops Skippy! Sadly not the episode with this boat.
