Hi guys
Sorry for the slow installment of photos. I have recently completed my Rampage
project and have been keeping myself busy playing with the beast. I have
attached some photos to show you the boats progress from those I sent last. The
boat has a Fijian Cedar deck with Walnut stained Carling and Gunwales. No
Fiberglass was used on the deck it is entirely timber. I first launched the
boat with a 3% step-up box but I have just replaced those gears with 20% items
and am yet to try this combo out. It currently has a Menkins 2 blade 11 by 15
and I hope to use the boat for social racing in the 6 Litre cast iron
restricted class. The boat handles beautifully and catches a lot of eyes on the
water. The boat took 2 years to build on and off (more off than on) as I could
only work on it during my spare time. The project has been an enjoyable
experience and certainly not my last, but for now I am looking forward to
enjoying the boat.
