A bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
Ok to get this back on track the final video's are posted on my blog.....she is ready to wrap up and ship next week..!
When is the expected delivery date?
I saw the facebook videos. It looks bloody great! I hope you have a heap of fun in it. Whats going on the back?

I saw the video on Facebook. Looks like a really good build. I myself would buy one if I was in the market for a plate boat.
From what I have seen in pictures and videos - I think you will be more than happy once it arrives on your doorstep.
Good on you for having a go.
I may have missed it, but what motor you putting on her ?

sorry, only funny the first time
Supposed to leave china on the 9th and arrive about 25 days later …
and yeah CT and shakey she has come up better than I expected though I am not sure about the motor quite yet but likely a 200hp...still getting quotes and trying to figure out what brand I can afford to buy and run..
been reading with interest the past little while Disorderly.
Have to say mate, its been a real credit to keep up with it all and share it with the social world for sure. very groovy project indeed.
Disorderly,
Is there going to be a viewing event and will you be posting the costs of your project along with the various gotchas you've had to deal with? It would be good to know what they tried to pull off.
Cheers,
If affordability is a concern check out the mercs. Designed for easy home service. No valve adjustments. Easy oil changes. Qr codes on engine that give u the service instructions.
Yeah guys the new Mercs do sound very good and so light...so good in fact that the closest dealers will not be able to get any stock of 200hp till the end of October..!
Anyway I put down a deposit on a big fat arsed Honda 200 today..it was 3.5K cheaper than the Merc quote and should do the job..
Original 25K budget is blown off the planet... renegotiated 50 k budget also disappeared in the rear view mirror today.....60K now already on Boat, cheap chinese trailer and motor...…..and still got Breakaway trailer system, Motorguide, 5 batteries, trim tabs and wiring/switchpanels etc to go........sounder,gps and radio will come off the old boat and for now and fans, lights, solar panels, stereo, fridge etc can be done as we go..best just not to mention the budget anymore to the missus...also had to buy another vehicle to tow 3T with, once we decided to jump up from 5.8m ..….Hint….let her choose the colour and upholstery then she becomes just as complicit in the overspending as yourself.......
