Cheers Bennie - we should have thought a bit more! Minor design change to get the control cables and topmounts in properly - the angle of the panel where the controls are to be fitted is too steep. Have had to cut a section out so the topmounts are level and not at an angle, so that the cables can go straight down, so a bit of re-work. Will post more pics as we go along.

Boat has arrived at the Redelinghuys operating theatre(Potato Shed)
in the Sandveld where the refurbishing of this old legend will start.

The Mission is to make something standout from the norm on a ''shoe string'' budget not compromizing functionality and dependibility. This boat will be used in Mozambique 2-3times per year so dont need a R300k investment standing idle. So far Capital outlay has been R10k for hull on trailer and R15k for 2 motors.- Now the fun starts getting all sorted under the R40k capital budget.
