Looks great. A nice finishing touch to your boat. It complements the Sea-Dek nicely.

I have used Kiwi Grip on four projects and have found the preparation to be the crucial step. The application is relatively easy and it really dresses up the boat when finished.

I think I read somewhere on here all your photo links died when your hosting company died. Do you have a current photo to throw up here? I’m interested in how your boat came out.

Yes, most unfortunate! I do have all the pics and will put them back in my build thread when I have some time.

I'll post some pics of the boat here shortly. Unfortunately I don't have any video of the boat up and going taken from another boat but I now have a drone and the next time I am on the water I will get some drone footage of the boat on the go. My drone is good for about 25 kts so it should be able to keep up!

Here's a video of the boat running up the Hinchinbrook Channel at 50 mph!

and here it is at about 25 mph in less than ideal conditions!

She's a meticulously built, rock solid, fast-as beast. I'd be surprised if any boat covered in this forum could match her in a speed enduro. And she's built primarily for barra fishing :D
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).
