It’s fall in the Netherlands. Lots of rain and temperatures around 10c (50F).
But we are still boating!
We spend the last weekends on the boat.
Never done this before and it’s very nice to have a longer boat season then just the time between April and end of September.
Diesel heater is working! Nice and warm.
No foggy windows thanks to the heater

Kitchen is small. But big enough to prepare a simple meal!

Hee Pat,

Great boat! Cogratulations!
Its is a piy that I'm not living is Zwaluwe any more, otherwise we could have met a bit more easy. But when I am in the neighbouhood I let you know. It would be nice to have both boats together. But when you plan to come to Steenwijk, you'll be invited

Hi Allard,

Thnx!! We are enjoying her very much!
You moved all the way to Steenwijk?!
Let’s keep in touch. Next summer we are planning some trips through The Netherlands.
So maybe we can meet!

That's a great looking boat. I'd love to see some more detail pics. Like of the motor, head, interior....
Built: 15ft Skiff, 16ft Skiff, Modified Cheap Canoe, and an FS17.

Ok I see it now. I'd still love to see more on the outboard cover.

Also what do you think of the sponson/motor pocket modified overall? Do you think it had a big effect of how it runs or its seaworthiness?

I really like the liberties you took with the interior.

I will take some pictures of the outboard cover this weekend. Snow is gone by then and she will be accessible again :D

In my opinion there are no negative expects on seaworthiness or how she runs.
There is no way waves from behind can acces the boat through the motorwell. Bulkhead is about 100cm high and everything is fully closed. The transom door is about 50cm above the waterline and it shuts almost completely watertight.
Problem with the motor cover in the beginning was that there wasn't enough airflow. I couldn't get to max rpm. But that's solved with an extra fan.

grtz,
Patrick
