    Making progress, got the arse end and transom braces in. Sourced a couple of fuel tanks from Bunnings at $10 a pop saved a bit of coin, thought I was gunna have to get a little custom tank built.

    Anyway motor fits good coupla small jobs and she'll be in the drink for a test run.

    Long way from complete yet, but the kids can't say "power boat" let alone operate one so plenty of time.

    Busted! just don't tell the mrs. its a whole lot easier applying for funds for the kids than myself.

    We'll see, if the 4 horse has enough herbs to plain my 85kg, when it comes time to build the seat it may just be big enough for me
