INVESTIGATOR 563

Greg,

Can't answer your questions but if you are in Brisbane you are welcome to come around and measure mine.

Otherwise if you can't find the details somewhere else I'll measure up and take some photos of my set-up, although I'm not sure if it is standard or not.

Anchored near the Story Bridge (best spot) and not only had a great view of the fireworks but the F111 dump and burn, as well as the Roulettes right over the boat.

Matt, There is a design available for an Investigator. I have a hard copy but I'm sure someone will respond and tell you where to find an electronic copy. It used to be on the old Investigator site I think. Anyway if we can't find a copy let me know and I'll scan the one I have and email it to you. ...

Matt, My business involves applying GPS in aviation, so I have some interest in things GPS. I've dealt with the most sophisticated GPS nav systems available, have taught GPS navigation in aircraft and all sorts of things but I have a very basic model in my boat. I use a Garmin GPS60, which you can g...

A couple more. Gunter's boat TOSCA and ours Margarita

Good stuff, Ian.

I'll post a couple more.

The first two are Palamida. Maybe we can accumulate pics of all the members' boats.
