Project update

[frankS]

Well it's a sort of update. I have drawn some rough ideas of what I intend to do to the Quintrex tinnie I have as a project boat.

The boat as it sits

Roughtly what I intend to do, cut out section of front bow add wide side gunwales make storage under each side gunwale make rear cast deck to hold batteries and fuel tank bilge pump deck wash etc

Fit floor make and install front cast deck with loads of storage and make and fit side console. Motorguide bow mount electric will be on bow.

Don't know if I will go with blue carpet or grey boat will be gunmetal silver inside and out with possible white trimmings.

Haven't decided on seating layout yet.

Open to any ideas that anyone may have for improvements.

I don't have any suggestions for the build Frank. I guess the outcomes will be decided by what the end use of the vessel will be. I know that you will do whatever is needed to deliver the best possible outcome toward the finished product.

I would like to add my warmest wishes to you and Val for a peaceful Christmas followed by a New Year that allows you to continue doing the things you are good at. I am hopeful that I will be able to visit you in the early part of 2024. Till then keep on keeping on.

Cheers, Neil

Looks like a great project Frank.

I couldn't offer any opinions or recommendations, but what you intend on doing looks pretty good to me.

Your customizing it for your own type of fishing use, look forward to seeing some updates on your project..

This project now belongs to a new owner, he is very happy with it and hope to see it finished in the not too distant future.

I know that you would have loved to have completed all the project work yourself Frank. Things change out of necessity and I know that you will be happy to see the project finished.

I am full of admiration for the things that you have taught yourself to do. You are a true "Jack of all Trades".

I have my pottery studio sign, that you made for me, proudly affixed to the door "BIG NEIL'S POTTERY". It will remain there till I cark it.

I will probably be headed to Sydney in April so will look forward to catching up with you and Val then. Keep well, my friend.   bn
