The boat is again the right way up after painting and boring of the shaft
hole. The sides have proven a nightmare to get smooth after putting a coating
of dynel on. The paint is Northane 2-pack fleet red and gloss black. Norglass
is an Australian company and is brilliant. There is still a bit of work to do,
but that will be done after the deck is laid and the fitout completed. I can
say with some pride that all the work is mine... even the mistakes. The stern
took 2 days and the rudder bracket was a pain all the way to the finish. The
exhaust ports are 65 mm and the flanges are laser cut, the fuel tank is 304
stainless steel and around 55 litres. Again my work. As for the trailer, which
is coming, I left that to a local manufacturer who promises a proper job.
Have fun everyone.
Love, Light & Peace.
