Nice work, who supplies those kits? What are they worth and what specs on them?
This is my own design overall length is just under 4.9 m
Will be for sale in a week or so
The alloy cost on this one was about 5k cut
But I have been making changes along the way
Currently have about 60+ hours in it
Small boats are more labour intensive
I can build a 6m hardtop in the same amount of time
Is that due to a similar amount of welds/structure but crappier access to get into some of the weld areas???
It has a bit of that FC boat look

looks nice.
In part yes but also an extra meter of weld here and there only takes a few minutes
Nice work.
Shit loads of strength in that hull with all those ribs.
Are the sides of the deck fully welded sealed chambers?
Yeah the floor is welded to sides creating a sealed chamber under floorQuote:

What will this one cost?
What about a 6m?
Still in process of costing this one but looking to be around 22-24k without motor
As for 6m not to sure as yet
Looks bloody awesome!
it sure does.Quote:

I've never been able to get either of my mig's to run alloy wire properly. Keeps ion jamming in the hand piece even with a teflon liner.
Currently running ewm pulse machines with 1.2mm wire through 8m lead push pullQuote:

Alloy wire doesn’t like being pushed through the liner
with out pushpull you need to keep lead and torch as straight as possible and clean out liner regularly
Yeah Ive tried all that. Nothing seems to help. I might just have to buy a dedicated alloy mig like a fronius or something.
I like that boat though. Cool design. I think if it were mine i would have made the bow rails lower set to the hull.
How many hp will you run on this ??
