Good job Matt. Are you sure you're not going to put a bigger motor on the back.

Yep Definetly sure I want something bigger 50 or 60. As the 40 I have is pull start and no elect trim so not ideal. But will work for now till I find something or attain more funds

well been a while since any posts way too much on my plate too get much done,
will get some photos of progress in the coming weeks. But i have most of pieces
cut out for the floor and just need to cut the front corner piece than i can start sealing
the plywood than glass it down.
got a lowance elite 7 chirp for a good price so should get in next week or so.
I was up in perth on the weekend and happened to be on gumtree and saw an engine in bunbury for a good price,
50 horse mercury force elect start and trim pretty stoked put a deposit on it,
gotta drive up there and pick it up this coming week when he gets the new 4 stroke put on.
So my dead line is christmas day a lot to do. fly rods will hang on the wall until than i think otherwise i won't get it done. can't wait time to knuckle down..
