Thread: My new boat - almost done!!!!

  1. #1

    My 5.3 Performance Plate boat - almost done!!!!

    I havent said too much about it up until now because the thread would have dragged on and on whilst it was getting built, but its close to done now so I thought I'd share.

    Its 5.3m side console built by Performance Plate boats at Brendale and saying that I am happy with it is an understatement! Most of the inside is done, all the floor and stuff is done, kill tank etc, they have now flipped it over to weld out the bottom and then its right way up again to do the final touches like console, rails, gunnels etc.

    Still lots for me to do to finish it off, paint, wiring, motor, and to send the trailer in for galvanising whilst I am working on the boat.

    Can't wait!

    P.S. thats my young fella proudly posing with it, he has helped me design it the whole way.

    Thanks guys, I brought her home today!

    I was a bit nervous because I made the trailer and even though everything was checked and double checked I still didnt want the bloody boat to not fit! All good, everything looks to be perfect.

    The kids are as excited as I am, they have sat down with me right from the start and planned it the whole way through, so they know every square inch of it as well as I do.

    Will have to get a pic of it up on the trailer.

    Cheers
    Matt

    I ordered all my bits and pieces today, steering, wheel switch panels, pumps, fittings etc etc. That bills going to be nasty!

    Not too much more progress yet, been really busy at work. I need to pull my finger out though.
