Hi Gerrit.

What I did was hang the motors so I could check their trim an tilt action to make sure I had enough space, then I spaced out teh rest of the hatches etc. based on the position of the false transom. The Console is +- 500 from the fuel hatch which I decided on just by standing there as if I was driving ...

I fitted one to this 19ft mono with single Mariner 115. I had the boat for just over a year (doing ± 2000km on the Breede) and the L&S hydraulics performed faultlessly. ::S

She's looking great! I've driven past her a few times and its great seeing her take shape. I'm sure the hard work and money is going to pay off!

I've been looking at a number of new boats and have heard, from reliable sources, what is happening in some factories. I believe what you are doing with this boat is the only way to ensure that your boat is made properly for your exact needs!

No shortcuts, no cost cutting = fewer probs!

My folks have a place at Mgwalana, but we launch at Bhira. A bit of a mission, but the fishing can be excellent.

Photoshopped my intended signage onto her ... I know the Loomis fish has been done but I like it ... gone for a watermark effect with the fish so its a little subtler ...

 

Open to suggestions ...

Looking very nice Sir!

Just remember a boats name and style thereof is very much a personal thing. One thing though, is the name going to be visible enough when the boat is on the water?

Looking better each day!
