wow. that is a top job. very impressive, and in only 8 weeks.
makes my 2 yr long project (so far) seem a bit lacking in dedication.
well done.

Mate, that is Sweeeeet! although I'm not sure about the colour. You have almost compleated what I am just starting. Great to see there are other like minded fisher fools out there. I have just bought a X ski boat hull and am planing the conversion to bream/trout comp boat. Your layout looks pretty good, what length hull is it? How does she sit/stabillity up front? Any tips / advice prior to starting?
