Er - I hope that trailer shot was before you adjusted the rollers!

er um yeah it is why

Because the keel looks like its about 4 inches above the rollers :)

ahh the untrained..lol jokes

na the keel on these boats are crazy..they taper up just after the middle roller..so if i raised the rear roller it would be almost impossible to launch the boat unless the trailer was fully submerged.is that explained properly?

um the rounding off was about 100-150ish i think..it was somewear in those figures

Looks fantastic.

What sort of live bait tank were you after? I have one out of my boat sitting here, waiting to go to the dump, you can have. The lid is a little daggy but that could easily be replaced with ply or a teflon cutting board.

Are they the factory side pockets?

ok hull was 1600ish.

-side decks were 400ish

-rounded front of the boat was 130ish.

-bow plate was 110.

-all the alloy box section was about 150..another 150 for welding(he's a mate so i got that done cheep!!).

-the ply,marine carpet and the proper glue cost more than i expected...i didnt really shop around for the cheepest prices but i think its about 300+ for the ply,carpet and glue.

-paint,thinners,primer was about $150max....would be cheeper if i didnt want the white tops on the boat.

-screws,electrics, hinges etc $100

the side pockets were not a factory item i wanted them a specific sice for my gear.

motor was $2900..its elec start etc...base model is about $2500.

for you own sake a fully done model of this boat for the hull only is about $5200-$6600(no sounders etc).depending on the paint u want and the amount of extra's.

i think my hull is at around $2500-$3000max and ive now finished..so its 1/2 the price and its set out the way i want it,not the way the factory wants it.you may get stung a lot more for welding and electronics as i know a guy in the biz, but you may save more on shopping around for better prices on other things as i was sick of trying to get the best prices on things

all that is left to do is a live bait tank,underfloor fuel tank(if i decide to have one) and the rear casting deck....i havt installed this yet as i want to do a few trips to figure out if i want one or not....
