Having built the od16 the gt27 is going to be a lot bigger project.
Plan to keep the boat at the local marina, use it as a weekender and cruise around the bays, rivers and harbours here in Albany Western Australia.
Have sold my 0d, gets picked up next week and this will give me some room to start stitching things together!! Shed is about 2.5 metres too short so will have to build an extension to keep everything dry.
Planning on building this the stitch and glue way rather than on a jig, the boat will be operated at displacement speeds only, at this stage considering an etec 25 - 40hp evinrude. I understand that these motors have a lot more torque!! Don't know much more about them so any comments re these initial thoughts about motor selection would be appreciated.
helpers name is Maggie, 6 year old Red Cloud Kelpie (hope the picture posted!).
Anyway will keep posting pictures of the build, hope to launch by December.
Cheers
Richard
