he picked up a industrial dinghy 18 foot that was really solid.
he then welded on a cuddy cabin, the anchor bollards, bow rails, anchor roller thing.
he made a dashboard etc out of aluminium which it very strong
he sowed HIS OWN canopy himself and made all the mounts and brackets for the canopy
prevoius to this the 30hp mariner was a tiller steer, so he got his own controls and hooked up the steering.
so once that was finished, the boat was going slow, the open back(no transom) was dangeroud if a big wave or something comes
soooo, he desigined his OWN transom and that was welded on, then he decided the boat freeboard was a little low so he made these awesome splashgaurds for the sides.
and then hooked up a big engine and the 30hp mariner to steer at the same time so you could steer with the steering wheel if the big engine was to break down
and he dont all the wiring and everything by himself and a bit of help and now the boats flies and is a strong and secure boat
