Mik Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Very cool I love the idea of building your own boat. Would love to see this develop via updates & more pics, great stuff.
davebrewer Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) Has he sussed out how to get the ABP(Australian Builders Plate) you need to register all powerboats,including homemade ones, since last year?I've been thinking about building a 4.5 M boat and will have to deal with this too.This is the one that caught my interest: http://www.bateau2.com/gallery/GV15/view.h...g&boat=GV15 Cheers, Dave.

robeebee Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 yes Dave my Dad has built a few boats and has given my brother a lot of help
Tony Soprano Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 That's awesome. Be sure to keep updating the thread as the work progresses, I love this kinda thing. Cheers Tony
davebrewer Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 So have I-I've almost finished my 6th,but they've all been sailing boats and canoes-this ABP thing is new and potentially a huge pain in the arse for amateur builders (thanks NSW Government Big Brother- follow the bloody U.S. bureaucrats mindlessly)hence my inquiry-any information would be greatly appreciated.
frankp Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Truly remarkable. Cant wait to see the end product.

sydharbourfisho Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 very nice, but is the thickness of the timber enough to withstand the force of it accidentally crashing into rocks (God forbid)?? It looks like very thin particle board with a nice pine veneer...
Davemmm Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 very nice, but is the thickness of the timber enough to withstand the force of it accidentally crashing into rocks (God forbid)?? It looks like very thin particle board with a nice pine veneer... Looks like half inch ply to me. From what I understand that will be more than adequate Dave
Yarraone Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 This boat is comming along very nice .. cant wait to see it finished.. WELL DONE
