Hi franterie, all up cost
Hi franterie, all up cost would be around the 105k mark
oceanic fabrications only build the hull, and I sourced the trailer motor pAint etc.
electrical/electronics I did my self save a few dollars and if ever something did go wrong with the electrics I know how it all works.
Should give oceanic a call as they have couple of 6.5m already built as stock,
feel free to contact me if you need more info

Ride
Hi justin,
thought I found a picture of my rig whilst trawling the net, I bought one from a guy in Perth who had it built but didn't want to take it on,
it's on the identical trailer too. Did you get the 6mm hull extra or is this std? I did go to the factory 1st and had already decided to get one built until I found the one I bought which was raw. I have done the whole fit out and paint myself. Are you happy with it? It looks great. I think I will have the only one in Victoria, look forward to your feedback
cheers

Hey blackjack, did if you
Hey blackjack,
did if you buy it from a guy names jason? I think that's his name. I considered buying his one, mine has 6mm hull, so far the boat has been perfect no issues and it rides great the 250 Suzuki pushes it along nicely.
Hows your rig? Taken it out much? There's a couple of members on this site which has the same boat.

Hey justin,yeah I did buy it
Hey justin,
yeah I did buy it from Jason, still not sure if it's 5 or 6 mm, I ended up getting for a good price and with the trailer it was on on couldn't pass it up, I took it for a quick run on the weekend, went really well.
im running a 225 honda. I'm still a few weeks away from finish, carpet seats and still waiting on the side windows to be finished. Still need to fit out bunks but that will be done in time.
what have you done with the floor? Carpet? What prop are you running?
cheers
