New Goat Options

[Spudly]

looks the goods jumps.. im guessing you will put your own style cabin on it though..

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Um not really Rumpus

I kinda like the one in the pic, only thing I would change is the configuration inside.

With my new interest getting back into the Gamefishing scene I'd like to build in all the Electronics so as they wrap around the skipper so they're in full view @ all times.

Also have to build in a compartment for a lap top pc which I cam plug into the GPS reciever etc, it's amazing what you can do with electronics these days.

My Brain has been racing @ 100 mph working out what I really want in the goat, there will be a collapsable tower up top on the cabin was thinkinking dual controls but opted to go for auto pilot instead sick of using Auto Jumpus

Good looking boat Jumpy... Did you check out the FAQ's

My mates cousin knows some one who can get me cheap plate . Can you just sell us the plans ?

Don't waste our time, we suggest you get your mates cousin to design and build your boat.

We have shipped hundreds of kit boats and have done business with nearly all material suppliers in Australia. The material prices we get are always the most competitive.


Get a price???

this is the type of thing i was talking about, the need to have the office set out the way the owner wonts, to have the electronics placed in this manner should be standed and not an after thought.
J.G I have been looking for a photo of a drew made to hold a laptop set in to the port side of the console on a u.s. made boat. it appeared to be set at waist hight and slid back into a water proof compartment but i can't find it again.

Yep I'd read that Bees

I worded my email to them in a way where my Q's could be answered.

Think is thee FAQ's keep refereing to Perth but the contact info goes back to the ACT.

There's also a mobile no there & will ring 2morro cause I think there's 2 sides to that site.

poly making a slide out is very easy to do

poly making a slide out is very easy to do

yep i know that, just didn't know if u had though of it thats all

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I allways pre-think b4 starting anything poly then it's just a matter of working the best option on how to do the job.

All the radio's & stereo etc will be mounted up high in a consul out of the way this time to keep dash free

[Bees Knees]

It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.. Why dont you use the same persuasion you used on the Trailcraft rep?? That'll work

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Somehow I dont think that guy would be in to much of a hurry to see me again

How Rude turning his back on me

Besides I want a Plate Boat not a Tinny

[poly]

i have had a good read of there sight and i think they wont to sell u the kit and not just the plans or have i missed something ???????

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Suggest you go back & read part in regards to **MYLARS** poly

Like I said I think Nomad Marine Kits is a different Co to Schwetz Design

Schwetz Design is located @ Dickson in your part of the woods & I think Nomad is just a contracting co to supply & cut the kits

[poly]

is this the mob you are refering to J.G.
http://www.nomadmarinekits.com/catalogue/o...rprojects01.htm

I think u will find its the same mob under a different name, hope i am wrong

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Yeah poly but go to this link &click on MYLARS so as you can understand what I'm on about.

I'm pretty thorough when I research something & went through that many links to find what I wanted it wasn't funny.

Jumpy. Don't know what you think of them or even if you have had any thought of them, but my next big boat hopefully will be a 6.5m or bigger centre cab.
The cab will be large enough to house all the instruements and a place to lay down for a quick snooze and a bit of protection when needed.

My very favorite boat. Other then the 32 or 38 foot Steber.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Had a looky @ a 6.8 meter centre cab @ the show Frank

Not really my cup of tea asa I like the protection of a full hard top just my style of fushing I guess but can see the benefit of being able to walk around a centre cab esp if YFT fushing.

Yep I favour the Stebers as well fished out of a couple of 41's in my time

Got on the Dog & Bone this morn & spoke to the designers @ Schwetz Design.

Seems they've stoped supplying PLANS only & if you want to deal with them you have to buy the kit.

Bit of a Joke when I think about it esp after reading their claim that they can supply the Alloy as cheap as any place you buy from.

Kit for the boat I liked came in @ $ 19,500 + GST + Delivery so you're looking @just over $22,000.

What I thought was a joke was that I'd costed the job @ around $ 8,000 in Alloy & I had all the off cuts as well not the case if you buy the kit.

What also made me laugh was that I was told the fuel tank was also included in that price & when I asked *does it come folded up ?* the answer was NO !

So now you also have to run around & find a Shop with a press to do the folding for you

My view is if I'm going to lay claim to having built my own boat then I'd want to do it from scratch & not go shoping @ an IKEA type store.

Oh yeah no wonder I liked the lines on that boat it's the same as the ones I'd been looking @ down @ predator.

Anyways peeps no more fart arsing about I've now decided it's definately going to be a build job I've stoped @ the idea of geting it built.

Spoke to another designer today & he's mailed a few designs out for me to look @.

If I like them then I'll get a start if not I've twisted his arm to come up with something which I do like

[Bees Knees]

Your not making it any easier on yourself Jumpy Building one it is then..

I'll get in touch with that mob i mentioned by the end of the week

thats a bugger, why not just send him a photo of the one u like and he can send you back the plans

[poly]

when you think about it $22.000 for the kit is not that bad, here is a compleated boat of 7mts second hand $85.000, new i would think u would have to pay around $95.000 to $100.000 finished and set up with all the fruit.

Actually $22 k is not a good price poly esp for your average Joe Blo

I've allways said that you're not saving anything by DIY & still believe that.

I'm only doing it cause I can & the project will give me something of interest to keep me busy.

If I was still working & had a job to go to then it would cost me more to build than to buy.

Did get some pics in the mail today & meeting with the designer on thursday to to go over the plans & discuss any changes I want
