I went round here yesterday to buy a rod. Had a look at the boat. Amazing job done on it. Really solid construction and nice finish. I reckon he could finish it pretty quickly if he had the mind to.

Mark is a bodykit fibreglasser by trade. If he does that like he fibreglassed his boat, then I'd be seeing him first if I needed any work done.

But you could have bought a tin can ship off the shelf, pick a store and drive away? ;-p

Loving the thread, good job. No need to rush it, get it right and its gonna be a cracker.

Would be interested in your predicted hull weight?

Is going to be dry and quick with those strakes. Nice.

Looking great. Thumbs Up
Is there anyone in Auckland building one, would be interested to view as could be keen on a new project.
Those that say it can't be done are being overtaken by those doing it.

Looks awesome! Console looks roomy, but plenty of room to get around it. Looks bigger than 18!
