jeffo.
looks tops. The 445f have even more constrictive gunnals than your boat. Great project and i can bet you cant wait to bash those waves in it. In mty 445f that punches well above its weight , there is no better feeling that being out 20 or 30k's wide and being the small boat. Bow rail and spray dodgers will save you heaps.
trust me.

Jeff, she's looking great. the gunnels on those are probably easier to work with than the slim ones on the 445f. You should be all run in and set to go for next season, though you have good options year round up there.

Been watching this and keeping an eye out, theres been a few 445f come up for sale since you started this project.

What ever happened to Jeffo and his refurbishment.? Great article but i couldnt get access to the photos. It may have been 15yrs ago but still a good read.

He bought a 133R and turned it into a tiller steer after selling this one. The centre console had popped up for sale a while ago on the internet with a couple of Simrad screens I think.
