    The edge of the tread plate is a 40mm fold that combined with the keelson that it will be plugwelded to will hopefully provide more than enough longitutdinal hull stiffness,another sealed chamber of reserve boyancy,something to lock your feet into when pulling in a net/long line/ 20pound plus snapper.







    I am not sure I like the line of the floor relative to how I think it will sit at rest and on the plane and may taper the press forad so the floor in the bow ends up a little lower and narrower.
    It certainly does not need more reserve boyancy.

    It's looking bloody good I think you should just put a jet unit in it while you are at it????

    It's taking shape nicely. You should consider a career in fabrication.

    Many people have said the same but it does not fit the design brief at all, how will I fit the 4 wheeler in there if it has a bloody great engine and jet unit there?.

    It looks big in the pics but it is only 11 foot long remember.....it is wide tho.

    I like the idea of having the tote tank out of the way so perhaps a long fuel line and tote tank under floor foward ? plus are you adding rod holders.. I've seen the ones that you slip into rolock holes and was thinking the same for you low proflie lugs or something... I know this is set up for nets and less is more.. but it will end up snappering also I'm certain! Very impressed with the progress..my biggest thought is comfort and ease of use for yourself and kin...will you be side seating her ?

    I tasked @Kiwi Greg with procuring me some hardwood planks for seats. I think they are quila? Anyway they have passed the two fat fucks bouncing up and down on them test.
    I wanted wood seats over folded Alloy for a bit of "suspension" in the seat but mainly wood is a lot warmer on the freckle on frosty mornings and nights than alloy.

    Have not compleatly ruled out some kind of inbuilt tank but I really need to sea trial her first before I think about that and where it might go.

    Awesome work dude.
    Are those fold up wheels fitted to the back a feasible option for single player dragging across the beach etc?
