davebrewer Posted April 16, 2008 Share 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.

davebrewer Posted April 16, 2008 Share 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.

sydharbourfisho Posted November 28, 2008 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemmm Posted November 28, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
