Oh I fit in it alright its just the getting in and out of it Im worried about. If I have to push it out from the bank a little how am I going to hoist myself up and over into the boat.

I forgot to add. How the hell am I going to get it in the thing. Havent really thought about that until today.

Gday everyone. Im getting very excited now as I only have minor things to complete on the boat. I also need to go shopping for a suitable trailer to buy then its launch time. Never did I think I would get so far. Many people at work have doubted me which is enough inspiration to finish. Can you beli...

I dont follow pamela??? Did I miss something

The hull is sealed with 3 coats of epoxy resin and 3 coats of a 2 part epoxy paint.
Not sure how it will stand up, but Ill wait and see.

I have one issue I hadnt thought about. How the hell do I get into the boat from the bank on my
own? Hmmmmm.

Who could have thought a name and placement of that name was such a hard decision haha My name reflects what my mates think of me when I told them I was building a boat.

So New Years has come and gone and unfortunately building has stalled again. Extreme heatwaves, bushfires and a break up ( she left me the dog though :D ) have seen me almost stop work. I have managed to hook the throttle and shifts cable up with my own custom design and brackets. Slowly but surely ...

Gday chubs. I brought a 6hp first but then I found a 9.9 so I brought that aswell. The 9.9 is currently on the back

Thanks Iggy. I am hoping sometime early in the new year it will get floated. Hopefully New Years Day with a bottle of champagne. :D That would be nice. Im currently getting shift and throttle cables made up to suit my shifter. Then a few little pieces here and there and off for registration. Ive jus...

Thanks chubs. Its been a bit of hard work but its getting there. Those side planks are actually painted orange. Its just poor lighting where it is. Wait till I finally get it outside for some better shots its actually pretty bright haha.

Hey guys just another quick update. Its been a long journey but its nearly finished. A few more things to sort out but hopefully within the next few months it will see the water.

MORE NEW PICS OF LATEST UPDATE....Last 2 weeks Ive been able to finish the transome area, install the steering set up, fill the bow area with foam, put the top deck on and undercoated it. The only things left now are to work on the seating arrangement and work out how to put a Throttle lever on that...

NEW PICS..

Here are the current progress pictures. Just waiting on some stuff to arrive from the states as Ive been unable to find what Im looking for here in Australia. Its coming along slowly.

Excuse the mess in the background

Bill, To be very honest it hasnt been cheap, but I think Ive said it before that... what hobby is cheap. Ive actually lost count and will only know the true cost when it comes time to register it. As here in Melbourne, Aus I have to show proof that I built it with receipts. It comes down to what mat...

NEW PICS. Today Ive turned my boat over to work out a list of things I need to purchase. Steering type? Throttle lever? Seating etc....
