Have you looked around for a secomd hand transportable shed. It may cost you a bit more but serve you long term and moveable if you had to.Originally Posted by gazza2006au
It's called "live and learn"! I also went through a few before coming to the realization that the other types are crap in the long run if you leave them on continuously, but it does hurt the pocket a bit to buy these ones but so long as they do the job I will be happy and they do offer a 3 year UV warranty whatever that means! So far, mine is living up to expectations.
Not yet Digs just felt like things started to snow ball first the transom than the boat floods two pockets, doing a rebuild in the backyard is dooable but there are a few curve balls thrown in along the way
Ideal dream would be to have a air conditioned shed wouldnt that be lovely haha
Being a nite owl really dampens my motivation when im up and running working on the boat daily stuff actually gets done than out of no where it rains for a week, i run out of supplies, bad medicated sleeping times it all hampens the progress
Wish i had some sort of garage from the beginning even just a carport i can drape tarps down the side and poke my small air conditioner in there to work all night thru summer or heat it for winter
Just 2-3 weeks ago i was steaming along i had the boat tarp lifted up about 40% from one side while i was installing the bulkheads i was out there every night 6-10:30 than had problems with the planer than the one full week of rain hit and it killed the motivation
Im pretty much broke for another 4 weeks i have supplies to keep me going but nothing to buy a carport atm
I will still keep an eye out on the classifieds for a shagged portable carport i only need the frame hopefully one pops up for little bread

Wouldn’t it be easier to just put down a couple star stakes with pipe then run the tarp over the lot. Like this

Gunna i tried that once and it was a disaster i went to bunnings and picked up 30x 3 meter 32mm i think from memory conduit pipes i went down the escilator with it all on a trolley OMG kill me now!!!! Plastic conduit on a aluminium or steel trolley going down hill 30 pieces slid off tge trolley and all the way down the escillator pilling up at the bottom haha i had strangers helping me load it back on to the trolley what a bloody moment that was
When i got home i tried to do the hoop and toss a tarp over the top the hoops just flopped all over the place it couldnt support the light tarps weight
Whole hoop barn canopy was a disaster

Actually had a brilliant idea i'll run some plastic conduit pipes from my house to the fence and drape my tarp over it its not structual so council likely wont say anything as its just a tarp
My new tarp is 7x5m the roof gap is about 2.4m wide and about 6 meters long
Bloody perrrrfect!
Just need to turn the boat around and im solo at the moment no one can come help due to cv19 outbreak in my area

Guys i have a worry the long shaft transom and two blokes in the back corner may dip the transom under the water with the 182kg engine on the back
Should i keep the transom as pictured extra long shaft and install a jacking plate?
If i were to keep the long shaft and i sunk the ass end after all this hard work i would be in tears

I doubt it will sink like that, but almost all motors over about 90 HP are XL these days.
Yeah thats a bit of a dilamour Noel i really want to see if the 90hp can push it but if i were to upgrade to a 150hp i would go XL shaft but at this point i cant upgrade
What do i do?

Im ganna have a 25" transom with a 500mm wide cut out down to 20" to run the 90 merc, not going with a jack
Also laminate will be

Should i put a layer or two of 300g woven roving in there?

They're called goggles FFS. You dont want that shit in your eyes ever. Plus a hood doesn't hurt either.
It's hot and you look like a ######## but you also dont shave 15 years off your life
Gazza wearing KKK gear, that I'd like to see.
Report him to the BLM mob for desertion.
