Here is a close up of one side of the transom. The tabs on the top are for the deck to sit underneath in between the tab and support and hold in place.

I have a 3.85 Quintrex explorer which is the same boat practically. You have now given me the urge to do more with it, all I have done is the floor between the seats. I really like the way you have framed the storage area up the front, i was going to rivot and sikaflex (mainly because my boat is painted). I would like to build a live well into the front seat as well. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with photos.
Cheers

Thanks Murray for the encouragement.
I have been busy today doing the rear casting deck. it is in 6 sections and has gone in nicely. Here is a pic of the rear deck so far.

I have now added my lean to seat up front to use while driving the electric and fishing from. Its mounted throught the bench seat.
I have decided to get a custom fiberglass live well made which I will plumb when its finished. My home made joby after a bit of thought was scraped for a better made one. Just letting the last coat of marine varnish dry overnight before attemting to carpet the decks.
Cheers
Aaron
i see a stubbie in the background of the last shot.
How many so far?
great boat. looks fab........ricated. are you a pro with the TIG or just hire and weld as required?
Looks very proffesional. well done.
Cheers, Roo.
P.s. Theres hope for my quinny explorer yet.
Thanks Roo,
No not a welder, sourced local alloy boat builder to do the welds for me. I thought it is best to get the pro to do as you dont want to weld to the wrong area and your welds crack in no time
Well I have carpeted the decks now and added my seat down the back. I am really happy how the whole thing had turned out so far. Just waiting to pic up my fiberglass live bait tank up so i can organise some more floor supports to be welded up. Once thats done I can gety some more carpet and ply and do it up as well.
At leats now I can fish from it.
here is the front deck with hatch
Cheers
Aaron
Here is a pic of the back deck with seat fitted.
Here is a pic if the rear deck with the seat and 1 hatch removed. The seat is mounted using a seat mount for the pedastal seat up front, a solid 19mm metal rod that fits in to the #hole on the deck.
Cheers
