Spotted this amazing Halvorsen bridge deck cruiser, Megsie, on a swing mooring on the central coast. I suspect (and hope) she is under restoration. It's shocking how quickly these classic boats can deteriorate if they don't have proper storm covers, etc.
After a bit of research, it appears that the boar had undergone a significant refit/restoration as late as 2012, so it's gone downhill fairly rapidly unfortunately. I've included some images of the boat when it was fully restored. Apparently she retains her original twin Chrysler marine petrol engines!
It appears that someone has setup a funding page for the project which I found here:
