Thanks for posting Richard. You know the CNC strong back and cross braces are all you!! The most improtant thing is a square straight strong back and base. Everything is based on this,,,,

Jacques! Good to see you still around! I’m going to try and push this thing along. I had another kid that is now 5... hell I’ll be Medicare when this kid is still in school... not even college..... :help:

He's one of my best buddies, I hope he can keep the momentum up. :D
His work is extremely neat and clean.
Having time for Derrick to build is a challenge though. He has 5 boys, three are not teens yet...
I think he sent me some fresh pics, I'll post them later...

Why is there glass in a different direction on the aft section at the bottom? I am still considering this deal, but sort of want the ph22 as well.

If you were willing to split the motor and the hull, what price for hull only?

It's an extra layer of cloth to strengthen the rear for the 90. I only know this because I talked to Derrick about it before he moved. Basically just built the transom to be able to handle anything 🙂
