Coming along nice Barry paintwork looks awsome that would have been a huge job. I used straighten out the sides Bart's boats (AMM) when I was at Stewarts Smash at Brendale doing a 7.4mtr Tornament was a big enough job I would hate to have added up the man hours spent in doing yours. Haha you give new meaning to the word this is living Barry because that is exactly what you will be thinking when you have that thing at full throttle. Good on you mate can't wait to see the finished product.

Guys, its not my boat but is presently owned by my fishing mates Pepi and Sasho.
I would have to make a shit load of hotlips jigs just to pay for the bait board

Yes it may be ready for the Rainbow Beach comp (mother ship) $20 for a crap, shower and feed

Cheers

Very nice Barry, I'm already wondering what they should name her.... and you will have to have a detour sign made for all the animals lining up 2 at a time and wanting to board her. Wrong boat!!

doesn't Pepi have the Dodge yet? When I was talking to him about 6 months back he was expecting it to arrive very soon.

He had a 2007 Dodge Ram (see pic) but just sold it and is getting a black 2011 model.

Rod,
The boat will be fitted with a Raymarine Radar & GPS and A Furuno 295 sounder connected to a 1kw through hull transducer.

Thanks for the detailed reply Barry

I've often wondered about the advantages of installing a radar however for my size boat and activities gps and map cards are so accurate these days its hard to justify the cost .. not that i dont want one .. uumm yep ok i'm very jealous lol

Looks like she is goin to be a pretty trick setup .. more pic pic pic

cheers

The boat is nearing completion and has the windows inserted, rear lights, radar etc. Pepi and Sasho have sold the boat to a couple of mates but we will be invited out on a couple of fishing trips until the new baby "Alexander" is completed.
It will be 7.6 metres by 2.6 metres and will have a 300 four stroke.

I will post final pics of the big boy as soon as it is ready to launch.

Pics attached.

Cheers
Barry
