hi finga built a hartley 18 ts ply over oregon some 20 odd year ago now that i started her which i still have in my back yard and still in real good nick dynel over the hull and a west saturated interior - dont use her much at all sadly and dont use my quin runabout all that much either, hope to change that soon though but dont want to part with the hartley as just too much of me in her but if you need any advice ideas happy to help any time - building a wood boat gets inside you and becomes a labour of love
cheers rob

G'day mate,

Yeah, I have been a bit quiet on this site for a while actually. Just kicking back these days.

The insides.. Well I put in timber subfloor beams and then a structural ply floor. It steps up just forward of the console kind of like a casting deck. That wasn't the intention though. The original floor was way too low and whilst it provided great freeboard, it didn't offer much usable walking space. The new setup has much less freeboard (there will be a grab rail around the boat though) but the usable space is huge.

I will probably look to sell this rig maybe halfway through the season as I have a 25ft flybridge project going to start soon. Or I may hold the diesel rig till the flybridge is completed.

I should have some more bling bits on the boat in the next week and will post up the pics then.

Cheers
