Garry - not to do with the engine position but if you look at the transom pics you can see the distance on the starboard side where you could step onto is significantly smaller than in front of the transom door on the port side. I chose this option over the standard transom which would see the door extended to the rear to the same point as the starboard (does that make sense ?)
Greg
so there is a bung in the port killtank, is that why there is a drain pipe out the back of transom?
Daz
Daz - Yep they both have their own drain
That is a great looking boat/tank/57chev lol. I bet he's got a nice waiting list.
I'm no boat builder but wouldnt sealing off the back of the whole transom/pod do the same thing as far as ballast goes? Or if this is done also, are the tubes there in case the rear section gets a hole in it?
Cheers Chris

Hey Greg, nice looking rig mate. Its a very exciting time isn't it, watching it come to together from the ground up. Some times the wait is unbearable. I will have mine back from the painters next week, can't wait. Hey good luck with it all mate and congrats.

Thanks Chris- look forward to seeing your pics when she is back. The wait has not worried me at all (especially when it is windy). In fact my Sportfish took a lot longer and it's great to head up to the factory each week and see things come together. Each week I was surprised at just how far along she was coming.
Lovey - not 100% sure what you mean but the ballast tubes run a bit over 3/4 of the entire boat length.
Cheers
Greg
Greg,
You will knot regret it one little bit.. To Col and the boys another super job.....
Re: Happy Times !
happy fishing Greg.........Just thought (tease) I would give you some NT Joy
Hey Greg
in the 3rd pic of post #1, is that a new type of bait board on the port side of that pic ?
LOL only kidding
Daz
Daz - By hoisting a main sail on the hard top and putting the fan on 3 I could slow troll very cheaplywas just an option I was kicking around with Col
Goldie - that middle pic of the sunset/rise is a cracker
LOL,
cheers mate
Daz
Platey Porn - she should have some clothes on now
Ready for a coat of Greg special
Bring it on !
Greg, Congrats on your new boat. Im surprised the wait hasnt been hard. It was killing me!!! Every time i went up there with dad it made it that much harder. haha. But trust me its worth it. These machines are incredible. Just last tuesday on the way back from Barwons we were doing around 25-26 knots in half a meter to a meter chop in our 6.8 maxi (Spin Doctor) and it did everything beautifly. After she gets painted you'll start to feel the wait. haha. Congrats again.
Cheers

Cheers Mad
