Hi Peter,

No reply as yet, maybe they are on Xmas vacation. I will check out the websites you mentioned but would really appreciate the designer's recommendation.
Thanks for your response.

Hi Jacques, I expect to launch my modified CX19(extended to 21 ft) early next January. I have to arrange for the Australian Builders Plate which has to show- maximum outboard horsepower maximum no of persons = their weight(kg) maximum load ( persons, motor, fuel,etc) For horsepower I will specify 15...

I am very appreciative of all advice and suggestions given. They have all been very helpful and now in my typically pedestrran fashion I will spend days mulling this over before deciding which way to go. Launch was supposed to have been by last Xmas, but now I have set a more realistic date - next X...

Tom, thanks for the explanation. I am not sure what our safety regulations are, but it does make sense to keep batteries and fuel lines apart. I am a bit worried about both batteries being on the same side with my 212 lbs. What is usually done, openings cut in the bulkhead or in the tops of the side...

Hi Jim, I was also thinking the shorter run to the starter motor the better. I would need to cut openings on each side as I ...

To locate them on the centre of the boat they would have to go under the cockpit floor and that would bring all sort of other problems which I wish to avoid. I agree with you that locating them at the back could affect the boat's ability to get...

As you may recall I have extended by 2 feet the cockpit part of the hull so I imagine that would add extra buoyancy to the back end of the boat and as I will be mounting a 90HP ETEC which only weighs about 145 kgs, should I be lo...

Thank you Jacques.

Hi Fishing Dan, Tom and Jim,

Thank you very much for the info provided.

Hi Jacques,
I still can not find the info I asked for on the plans, i.e. the fender's size and distance from the waterline or chine. Could you please advise me on which page do I find this info.
Thanks.
