    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.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Yeah all Cnc cut, just have to fold it

    The proper kitsets come with detailed plans/ instructions which is why they are a bit dearer
    Plus I think they have glass included which is another cost

    Yeah works out about half the cost of buying new
    Plus if something needs changing etc can just weld it on
