Looking good Matty !! Looks like a nice big area now to work in when out on the water. You'll be very happy with the Honda for sure !

Any concerns over the extra length now hanging over the back of the trailer while it's being built? or is it being supported some other way until you extend or get a new trailer?

Heath,

Its on a cradle type thingy. The trailer is undergoing mods elsewhere.

Mat wont get on here tomorrow hes out delivering a new 9m with twin 225's

That jaguar looks like it will be one hell of a machine once its done. I think only a full hard top with full glass will do it justice now.

Cheers

matty, looks the goods!! but are you not running more main stringers from old hull to new?!?!

[Mister]

Not sure I read this right? You're putting a 225 four stroke on a 5.6 hydrofield that has been lengthened by how much?

Thanks, What we have done is the old stringers from the old hull were cut back 1400 short of the cut for the extension and then then the new ones overlaped bye that length and followed the hull right to the transom.

the girl will end up 6.9m long , Also i have no idea what top speed she will get but if garry is right and we can get 40 knots that will be awesome as 60k was top speed with the 140 zuke. also alot of hydrofield owners think that the hulls wont get over 70k, So this will be the test i guess, I personally don't understand how they come up with this but we will see in a few weeks time if they are correct as the 225 should give her wings.

Hey thats a bit harsh mate, its not just my fat ar##, its also joeys and the old boys too so i guess she will end up a heavy boat and thats with out all the snapper in the esky

[nickstock]

Bloody unreal work mate!

I can't wait to see the finished product.

How much do you think that you will have saved in dollars rather then buying the 6.6?
