You should gather your sanding dust and weigh it for us
Nice looking rub rail. You gonna place stainless or burnished aluminum rail over its upper and/or lower leading edges?
Luv your knife like entry bow shape! Yeah baby!!
Thanks mate. I'm putting some 20mm thick HDPE Polyethylene strips (kind of like Teflon) on the three rub rails. Same type as they have in boat trailers but thicker

Sounds great! Lighter than metal? How does it attach??
Just going the screw it on every 300mm. That way I can replace it when needed

Single center screw or doubled - top and bottom? 11.811 inches is a fair spread. That material pretty stiff and rugged? Metal is often 6 to 8 inched on center.
Matt-you are going to look at instructions? You've gotten this far without any, why start now?
Hope that makes sense. Bit hard to explain my vision some times.
Thanks mate. Was a great time had by all at the Abrolhos Islands

Hendo you are making me tired. Got me thinking of buying one of them kady krogen's or maybe a greenline hybrid either would be lots less wurk then making one from scratch but not as much fun
and thats the important thing. Out here fishing isn't that hot due to over fishing. There are plenty of fish but all small. The looks of your catch reminded me of fishing here thirty years ago
That's a shame mate. Overfished by rec fishers or commercial fishers?
The fisheries here are heavily moderated which is great to see. Most people do the right thing but there are a few that think the fishing seasons and rules don't apply to them.
If fisheries department get a hold of you they can take your boat, trailer, car and fishing rods etc plus massive fines.

I hope you manage to keep things like they are. What happened here was foreign factory ships stripping the seas. They moved the boundary out but the damage was done. Japan signed the international agreement to stop whaling but they kept right on killing them for the meat market. When president bush questioned them there answer was these whales are taken for scientific research only. Yeah right. Right now there is big demand for abalone and poaching is running rampant because the poachers just buy new boats when taken by the courts and start poaching again. Again this is for the Japanese market's insatiable demand for abalone.
