    Its a real credit to the work youve put into it Greg, I love the colour too - although it will make it a bit hard for you to sneak out to your "secret" spots!
    Look forward to some more pics

    Cheers and beers

    I’m about to go through the same ordeal with my plate 7.4 meter centre console. It’s an inspiration to see the quality that has turned out for you after so much work. I’m now inspired to forge ahead with mine.

    I think the pressure will be on the crew at Fraser - it will be a long (but fast ) swim back in if she gets scratched on launch and retrieval



    Look forward to seeing the splashdown Greg - top stuff !

    Thanks for the pics, you must be really pleased with the results.
    Keep the updates coming, and I hope you fill it up with big red fish up at Fraser.

    You should get Dave to weld up some steps on the trailer for getting in and out like some of those Black Lab Platey trailers on the US site. Will make drive on/off a breeze solo.


    Cheers

    Greg
