jw's umber build

[jw.]

The cabin's in the boat and bolted down, the graphics are done. Now it's a bit more fibreglassing, windows, seating, storage, dash, electrical work and trimming. Then finalising the axle positions and brake linkage on the trailer. So, I guess, about the middle of June. Launching on the east coast but it'll be on the west soon enough.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh........well fibreglass

POOR gARFie red all over

I've fitted gArf's old tractor cab. It was in a bit of a state so it's had a coat of resin and a splash of colour so's he won't recognise it.

There is better snap but I thought Missus would like to know...

Good Lord...amazing amount of work...

Like the graphics too

Is that the lovely SW in front?

Wow! It looks fantastic! Big congrats and BIG respect!!!

[jw.]

Thanks to both of you. Yep, that's SW.

Matt the CG is a concern. Originally it was going to be an open rib with most everything under the deck. It would have been a cool handling craft. Now it's a different story. The CG of the engine is just below deck level and it weighs well over half a ton (about 700kgs). The tanks are down low also so I'm going to suck it and see. If it's truly crap, there are plans.....

I thought I'd give you a wee smile.

Well done JW congratulation and looking forward seeing it on water.

Not a lot to show you really. Lots of work on smaller things, making window frames, window retainers, flowcoating etc. Presently working on the dash area. A wee bit of engineering tonight. Made an adjustable mounting for the helm unit, rake and height.
