f**k me, I like that.
I'm assuming the alloy was all laser cut ready for you to weld?
I've been looking at those DIYNO boats on trademe, but looks like yours comes in significantly cheaper on build price.

Nice mate. Quite a similar design to our seahouse. Make sure you get the prep absolutely spot on before you paint, otherwise it'll bubble like ours did/has started to.
Looks great, Is the trailor ali to??
Abe was right! It is awesome. Pretty friggin awesome in fact. Very nice tinny mate!
You need to bring it over the coast and I will show it how to find some big bugs and bluenose!!
I even have a place to park it when we are not using it:thumbsup:
Na it's steel, bit much flex in a trailer to make it out of alloyQuote:

Yeah works out about half the cost of buying newQuote:

but i had 5 months to build the lot so went for steel as one could be welding alloy and one welding steel
