Don't know how to send a link but there is a very rare early HH 19 center console on ebay at the moment. Looks to be all genuine.

its custom made..it use to be a 19L by the looks of it
hh 680 patriot with a black baby
threw the pedestal seats out and fitted a decent esky after a year
dash area seemed dull so with a bit of scrap wood
it sure feels like a fishing boat now though it was scary getting a brand new boat and changing things.

did the running boards two . its funny though the timber seems to give a feeling of depth or personal soul if you get my meaning . for a couple of hundred bucks or less the side runners was old claimed floor boards it can make a vessel far more appealing.

My Nephew brought a 600R not long ago (just about stole it from a farmer) floor needed doing, motor untrust worthy, Gal trailer as new, floor and stringers has now been replaced, new fuel tank (240lts) boat resprayed (yellow) and a brand new 07 model 175 Opti with full wan;ty, i will see if he can send me a pic of it to post up, keeping it for a year or so and getting a plate boat built
My old girl the v17c. Does the job for me. Happy how it handles and I agree, it's much better with the tabs.
Also nice timberwork and boat ozbee!
theres a guy here who for his living he gets in haines from 17 to 26 and re does them stringers and all , pods some so they can carry those four bangers . they come out twice as strong as any new haines and better looking. while i like my patriot if i had a choice again i would grab a 23 foot forumala / haines for about 12 grand (stringers stuffed spend spend 24 , 000 extended also to 26 feet) add forty for a new 300 zuk plus $ 16000 for a perfect multi roller trailer comes to $92000 . a saving of $30 000 dollars plus a larger vessel
