Ah right. I knew the design looked familiar. Is it based of the 7.4 sports cruser?
How did you come about building a copy of a White Pointer, do you have a connection with them?

went round lots of designers looking for what we wanted, maxwell and hall had best price and a willingness to change what we wanted changed
just so happens they design for white pointer so they used that for a base
first plan was for a jet unit set up but got stuffed around by the unit makers when we said we wanted to run a diesel

What was the build cost for materials and how many man hours?

$67,000 NZ dollars most in BEER I'd say at a guess

18 for all ally apart from pipes
5 rolls of wire at 2 hundy a pop
5 gas fills i think they about 180 a shot
trailer got expensive, ended up about 7

what you dont think about is the finishing items ie carpet,wiring,lighting,pumps,trims.winches,seats etc all add up fast
and the motors aint cheap

time frame was from 8 month of 2013 to now, mostly just weekend so not a hell of a lot of hours

Very cool .

Its gonna be a cheap boat for you, and youll have pride in the design and build
