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. :thumbsup:

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

Test day finally come around today, my brother came over and fitted a camera on the front pointing back and also set up on the jetty with another camera.
Took me ages to get going as I still havent quite got the fucked up throttle/tuning system susd but we got there in the end.

Didnt have the balls to get me on the plane, I did a timed run along the top of the lake and she clocked in at around 8kph or 4.5 knots.
Might look into upgrading to 8-10hp.
Got my brother to whip this up for me

Been a busy little beaver in my spare time lately, cockpits starting to take shape. Back of the seat needs finishing and painting then i'll be gluing on padding. steering column is all but fully fitted, wheel needs to be shaped and fitted.
