Thanks for that Jon!

Agree with everyone else, the mould looks fantastic and is definitely going to be stiff!

Boss 34 Update

The deck plug is almost there, just the finer details on air intakes and fittings etc.. to be sorted.

Kevan and his team have been working day and night to achieve the perfection he demands and what we now expect as normal.

The picture shows the deck plug, on the hull plug with markings for air intakes and deck hatches.

The boat itself actually looks better in the flesh! Some real nice lines and alot of thought has definately gone into the finer details of the build!
Im waiting for my drawings of the canopy version ........

Either that or the roof is coming off !!
Can anyone tell me if Nik Kieser is still a big part of Boss Boats? and if so, does anyone have his e-mail address?

many thanks
Matt

Saw the hull this week - and although I maybe bias - thought it looked fantastic. Finish is superb and build quality excellent.

Why indeed! Of course my side will not be fully proven until she is launched - really looking forward to that day and the following testing etc.

But - really good to be involved in such a high quality build.
