Hi guys I’ve been away for a bit but busy building my dream boat. It’s Aluminium, it’s 5.1 m or just under 17 feet and sits in 250mm or 10 inches. Sorry I’ve been away so long but it was worth it. Have a look. Seafoam wrap on the sides, evasol deck and cockpit finish, 40hp at 27mmiles/hr with me. Rates for 60hp. What an epic journey my own design to suite conditions in Hervey Bay Australia.

@Billy moore about the model. Is it to scale and did you see the draft with scale weight if so? I am drawing plans right now for a 15' skiff in 1-1/2" = 1' and been thinking about building to scale first with balsa stations and using craft foam to strip it. I know not exactly the same but "Rona" is driving me crazy!!
