I guess you checked it out but don't forget the problems Quintrex had with their rubber pads in the old days.

Stop getting crook & work harder we want ACTION!

Up yours ewe shinny head

Dont look like it but there's alot of work in pics below very time consuming

What's the recessed box in the floor of the last pic?

Storage
V sheet sea anchor etc

Been slow of late but cabin just about done just consol & a few tidy ups left

Looking spoofy pal...

Always wondered why alloy boat builders don't build the cabins to the outside of the gunwale ?
This would give a little more elbow room inside the cab.
And provide a nice little shelf either site of cab for sitting things on.
I know the controls and such would have to be adjusted but in my opinion the benefits would far outweigh any problems.

Personally i couldn't think of anything that would be more ugly & impractical as that

Ever been on a seafairy & tried walking to the bow ??

They have to rely on a hatch to access front bollard

Just about done under cabin snaped a pic late this arvo & as usual came out crap with flash going off reflecting off alloy

Wittle curved overhead consol , glove compartment ect

Owned a seafairy for 5 years and never had the need to walk to the bow, with a alloy boat a decent sized front door could be made, if the need to walk to the bow was there. But yes I can see the point that for those that want to walk along a shinny gunwail to get to the bow, it would be a problem.

Where are the ashtrays going Jumpy?

I thought it would be a pain but it turned out being no trouble at all using the Seafarer trapdoor, you can stand up in it and it frees up both hands for doing the anchor stuff.

Some bastard welded a bit of scrap onto your cabin side mate, you better cut that ugly POS off quick smart.

Your last pic reminded me I need to find a new milk crate, lost the last one when I cleaned out the old factory.... short of mugging a milkman where the hell do you get a milk crate I wonder?

Not everyone likes their goats the same way frank
I hate those hatch's & like the option of being able to walk to the bow

Ewe still alive shinny

A few close ups of yesterday's pic

overhead consol



niche housing switch panels



stand off for steering wheel didn't realise till late this arvo silly me welded it in back to front do a new wun 2morro



Sounder, gps housings



glove box & shit bar

When I saw the wheel stand off I thought it was just the camera tricking me you silly bugger.
What's the big dent in it did you whack it with a hammer?

Have you ordered the VERY thick paint yet, colour scheme?

Just about done now hoping to get paint on sides & hull by weekend

Mr Hart what a brothel

Hope the seats are stronger in this goat Ange?

Jumpy. You have done well again, always that little bit harder when the health wont stay pase with the goal, but you are getting there and I know it's gonna be yet another cracker of a boat.

BTW do you know anyone that might be interested in my T I G machine, just needs the switch rewired.

Very happy with this wun

Dont really get full view in the workshop pulled it out today ready for paint
Had to stop & absorb it every time i walked in / out shop

Like the name, well done

Looks awesome JG..

Not the original name i was going to give it

Pop is in memory of my late father

Nice one .

Jumpy. just 2 small critisims 1 and it';s not really vital cause it's a drive on, but the winch cradle/post in my mind could be about 3 inches higher, it appears to me that the winch cable would not be allinged properly with the winch hook of the boat and the last few turns of the winch ( the vital part ) you would be draging the boat nose down more then forward which would put strain on both winch and boat. ( quiet easily remedied by placing block under wince to lift it that 3 ".
The other small critism I would rather discuss eye to eye next time I see you cause it's pretty involved.

Built a few now frank & honestly cant find any merit in what you're saying
Boat is a drive on for starters i dont use the winch

Winch post hight was purposely lowered on this rig compared to the others

Logic told me it would drag nose down coupled by strap over arse of boat

It aint going no where on the road

so what are you saying, your not comeimg to visit or are you afraid the Datson wont pull it

Paul

The Donkey

All Done
Taking it out for a run 2mollo

Very good. Hope all goes well. No reason it shouldn't as you have done everything right.

I hope it doesn't rain...drip,drip,drip,drip....

That's a lot of weight behind the last point of support on the trailer Jumpy, at the big fish tail fin?
Yeah I know, I know,... "get F**Ked FED" but seriously it's a big ask for a tinny to carry.

Hope it goes great today, I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Jumpy i have been watching each post on this thread with interest. And its all come together just the way you wanted it to. You are a freak and i tip my hat to you. After today,s little spin in the bay it was enough to give me a little stiffy. I am look forward to getting out there in the deep blue sea with you and getting a bit of blood on the deck.
Ten out of Ten mate its a cracking boat!

Cheers Nob.

J.G......................................... were is the VIDEO we need the VIDEO ,no not that video, the one of your new boat.
we all know you spent the money and bought a video camera, so show us the movie if you can
Paul

FED "get F**Ked

poly how many times do i have to tell you ??

Jumpus dosen't do Nude TV


Boat howls

why not

Paul

Had the 1st fish out of the new goat today & of course jumpus had to show the nob who the master is wunce again

Keep trying pad1learner

Pretty fish. Are they goldfish? They aren't black......
Any seals or jackets around. Enough space, with the big box in the middle of the deck? I have a 90l esky in my boat and it can be a P.I.T.A. at times. Think I will leave it at home when I take the boat out next. Never put fish in it anyway. Good going.

Wun seal did rock up but we weren't ketch'n anything @ the time strangely no jackets but it was quite virtually all day marking fish all day but they weren' ett'n



More than enough & i wouldn't be without it no good having a big empty void cockpit esp when in sloppy seas

Thanks of the day out it was a great day on the water in the new boat.
I am always learning from you flapper and i wont be shy in saying you are a pretty good angler "and you know it"

I can say this " i wont be walking around with my head up my ass thinking i know it all" not like the others you have taught.

Cheers Nob!

Whew!!! That's letting them all know. I can't even touch my toes so no worries about me walkin around like that. Glad I learnt to fish at an early age, and still learning. Is this one of the experts you mentioned, nob?

He's a bloody freak Stickman.

Has the boat turned out all you hoped for Jumpy?

Wow nice looking boat, i can't believe you built another one haha. What do you do with all your boats now ? i might have missed it but do you still have the other 2 boats ? and was there any reason for building this one ?

Either way looks great

Well the only reason i went for a fish fed

Was to piss ewe off

Na boat is great, donkey power on back can get a bit scary if i dont ease throatle forward boat just shoots off like a bat out of hell

Tell ewe what it sits nicely in water weight transfer dosen't worry it @ all

did have a bit of a worry yesterday when i 1st opened throatle, boat was porpoising like a jack rabbit on heat

Bear in mind boat is new to me & it's been many moons since i've been behind the wheel quick plat with trim sorted that prob out

Well i have wun 4 a munday a 2'sday a wednesday & every udder day



Seemed like a goodarus idea @ the time

Don't worry about the porpoising, when the arse sags from overhanging the trailer it will put a hook in the hull.
Built in trim tab for free without turning the boat into a cripple with engine trim.

Well done jumpy POP looks very good
what is the length and beam? muck bigger than the old goat?

Another brilliant build. who do you use for your plans Im keen on getting a set of plans like your small boat.

No plans
Make up the design as i go along
