  1. heres a couple more of the lining and around the front frame all done over the weekend found the gunwales to the frame where it turns up and in and all over the place a right pain in the a--e . the roof collars are made by laminating three strips of ply glued and screwed together in a jig then removed after the glue set we took the screws out

  5. hi neil as long as it stops the worst of it i'll be happy, I'm not a fan of the pram cover either , im going to put a drip around the new deck boards to help the water into the channel,and ive seen that sound proofing but isnt it expensive lol. the sr3 is bolted direct to the hull might try putting rubber matting between the mounts but cant see that making much difference either. Was waiting for a mate who's a welder but cant wait forever need to get on so had a go meself ?.
  6. now for the rear deck, as you see all angle iron so im wanting to try and keep the bilge as dry as poss so ive done this with some channel

  8. i would have thought the weir gates to the side were not open enough to take away excess water in upper pound ?
  9. was about to say the only difference is the dye and this time of year the anti waxing agent but can be happily mixed
