Looks great, coming right along. Except for one thing... where is the water??? Are you expecting a high tide about the time you're done?

Seriously, it looks huge. Is this a boat you'll travel in or keep in one spot as a floating cottage?

Keep the pics coming, we love 'em /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nice looking start there my Aussie friend. 2 questions:

1. What's the property tax on that thing?
2. What's a 'sooky baby'? (an old aussie flame called me that once much to my befuddlement).


Is that TEAK?

Re sooky baby: sheesh, I took it as a term of endearment.

It was certainly delivered that way!

Live and learn, apparently a lot later! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

How are you going to get that thing in the water? Crane it onto a flatbed?

Does look like it's coming along great though! Good looking.

Vin:

A while back you were asking about places to visit in the US. Is this how you plan on coming?
