can you post up some more pics since the others are gone?

[Stuart]

Trying to find the right photos for the right section would take me hours. I think I will just post some pics and then you can see it coming together step by step. Im also trying to sell this rig at present, so I even though its for sale I will keep going on her until sold.

well, after being at the rbw, it was great to be able to help stu out with work to the boat, which is sitting on the front lawn atm, so after picking up the flat sections that were pre-cut they now look like this[ see pics] centre console, baittank ,fuel tank, bow sprit and the front seat which will be a part of the console. the hull itself looks the goods and whoever is after a well designed /built boat you should do yourself a favour and have a chat to stu cheers ian

For those that missed the start of this boat I will post a heap of pics to bring you up to date. The pics speak for them selves.

For those that don’t know. I payed a naval Architect to design the exact boat I wanted. I draw up some rough ideas and then he went at it. We went back and forwards for around 3 months until it was exactly what I wanted. This boat wasn’t a stock design from some kit; it was a custom design from ground up. Although the boat turned up as a flat pack so to do the majority of other boat manufacturer I wanted a boat that could hit a brick wall and nock the wall to pieces. With the shear amount of structure in the design of this boat it would nock many walls down. If I’m going to hit some thing, I don’t want to go over it; I want to go through it.

The boats stats are as follows. Its length is 7.1mtrs and has an overall length of 7.4mtrs. Raised bow with a raised floor of 200mm. 800mm freeboard with 1 meter sides and 1.3meters high sides in the bow. The hull is 5mm while the sides are 4mm. All frames and stringers are 5 and 6mm. The floor is 4mm and the centre console 3mm which has a 2 person passenger seat in front of it. Fuel tank is 4mm and can hold 250ltrs. Live bait tank is near 95litrs which turns over 250ltrs per minute. This boat was set up for my style of game fishing. Heavy tackle from the Sunshine Coast through to Cairns. Every thing is hidden and can’t be seen, no batteries, no wires, no pumps, no hoses, all hidden from view. I want tell what else I’m doing until its done then I will put photos of that up as well.
