Looks a treat mate not long now. I was thinking about your boat on the way back in from the FFB today doing about 10kn getting absolutely belted in my aluminium cuddy being passed by every glass boat around, i'd be interested to know the overall cost of the project thinking maybe its time to give fibreglass a go.

 dont you just hate that multiple posts . 

wasnt meant to be an xmas pressie just turned out that way. i can see Sandy and myself having many enjoyable trips out in it. 

makes it ore enjoyable when you can fish with your wife and enjoy the same thing, only prob is i usually get outfished. but as im the skipper i claim the catch as partly mine
