Progress........
The hull mould is now complete and ready for use 
Deck plug is very nearly finished ready for moulding, last coat of pattern resin applied today and first sanding grade completed, next few days will be running through the sanding grades then polishing / waxing.
Very pleased with how she is looking! 
1st boat will be out of the mould at the end of the month.........
i'v misplaced my camera lead at present so am finding it difficult to post pics, memory card is XD and only access i have into PC is SD! Sorry Cye! i'm borrowing a camera for tomorrow so will post some then.

Respect!
This is what "boatbuilding" is. It looks realy nice Gav.
I hope to see one or more boats of these in action on the Belgium canals during the waterski races.
This is pro work. The way how you care about the plug. Each detail that has been worked out.
I like the looks. I'm convinced that it will perform like you wish.

Nice work Gav
I had better decide on some colours now!
Any ideas you lot 
I am thinking blue up to the waterline with maybe white sides for the hull but am a little stuck for the top deck.
I think that the screen needs a seperate colour????
Thoughts please.

White hull, white deck and black screen. White interior with black piping to the seats and grey carpet/flowcoat.
Would look really classy I reckon.

Maybe that "arrow" on the deck in another colour could be fun too... Fe the same colour as on the sides.
