"Alexander" build update

[dayoo]

I thought I'd better give an update on the build progress of "Alexander" (the great).
The boat is presently in the painters spray booth for bogging and painting.
It will be painted white from the gunnals up and gold on the hull with black rego and dectals.
As soon as painting is complete it will get the fit out of windows, toilet, shower, chairs, carpets, electronics and motors will be fitted by the Suzuki engineer.
I will update this thread as work progresses.
It finished up 10.2metres long and 3.4metres wide with plenty of room down the back corner for my bean bag

Pic attached.

Cheers

Why wouldn't you have just updated one of these threads? Or at least just have one build thread so people could follow it from start to finish?

Triple,

This latest thread is to cover the painting and fitout.
The original thread was for the build which was completed when the boat was towed out of the boatbuilders shed.

Other people complain if everthing is in the one thread as they think that they have read it all and don't view. Damed if I do and damed if I don't

Wags,
You will like the new paint colours especially the black stensil work over the gold sides.

You can nearly please everyone.. By the Op replying with an update to an existing thread and edit title in the first thread post to say "updated - fitout - pg 5" or "update 20/1/12" etc.
That way you can follow the build all in one thread and it gets bumped to top of page and into new posts section with new title for everyone to see. And keeps all the info for future reference in one easy to read progress thread.
Just sayin..

and p.s its one nice tinny

[dayoo]

Triple,
Point noted. This thread will have all the updates on the fitout. Next update will be a pic of the finished paint job

Cheers

No mate the Dodge Ram is OK but he had to order a special 70mm tow ball from the States
