Thanks Justin. Good work on yours as well. I didn't have the cojones to start with something that big. This one is my learning boat for the flats. If it turns out good I may try a bigger one for offshore :D

Gary, this was my first attempt, really rough, but it floated and gave my wife and I something to muck around in the river with :)

I was so new to boat building that I didn't even fibreglass the bottom :lol: (as I found this website after I built that).
Learnt a lot since then, but I still have a lot to learn, and this big boat is sorting me out for sure. Good fun though, and this forum is super helpfull.

We have a 5m aluminium boat for fishing, but it is an open side console and I got sick of getting wet when we go offshore, so I decided to build a boat with a cab, I wanted to to build the p21, but it is just too tall to get under my house to the garage out the back, with a modified trailer I can get the P19 under....well I hope I did my sums right, otherwise I'll have to turn it into a spa out the back or something :help:

Keep up the great work Gary, you are making super progress.

Cheers
Justin.

Thats a cool little boat. You can always air down the tires some if you were off by a little. :lol:

If I am off a bit, I have considered making a removable cab roof..in which case I should have built the P21 :doh: .

Boat building is certainly an addiction. It is all I think about during the day, makes it hard to get anything done here at work :lol:

It is a hard mistress. Be careful, soon you will just quit work and build boats like I did. Of course it is still work, but beats doing most things :D

Yep, If I had a choice as to what to fill my day with, I would be out the back building boats for sure :)

You've done well Cracker!!
