Baron Outrider Project UPDATE

 Looks brilliant. Really like that you've kept the red.

Who did the outboard pod? More like a hull extension by the looks. Should ride well.

Pod was made by Benj at Southbound boats Dunsborough. And I've gotta thank James Kirkman for the awesome paint job! Really top bloke and a true professional at his craft! He is in Busselton and business name is Busselton Shipwright Services. Both guys have done an amazing job and would not hesitate to use them again. Boat expected to be on water June this year

 Thanks Sea Cheese, was worth the effort

Your not wrong Brock O, I really cant see why people trade in their classic WA built 70-80's hulls for modern fancy boats that cost the earth. I have really enjoyed this project and have got great satisfaction from restoring a true WA classic!
