Alas, I think you will regret it when you discover it never dries out and your feet are always wet.

I suggest you just lay it out for the first month or so, before you glue it down.

No worries champ

Miss seeing your daily updates!
Hope you are on an extended Holiday.

Your progress is one of the reasons I enjoy reading Trawler Forum.

You ARE missed!!!!!

Matt either got tired of people asking when he is going to launch the boat or that carpet was so bad ass that he laid down for a well deserved nap.....

Happy Holiday Season to Matt, Felicity, their kin and to all on TF!

Hahaha I’m aiming for Easter now so April 2020. Haven’t taken the carpet to the boat yet. I’ll do that once I’ve finished the fit out.

Happy New Year. I wish you and all who know you a very healthy, happy and prosperous new year.
Let's all hope this is the year the boat gets launched.

Hey Matt

Been watching Australia fires on the news. Sure hope you and yours are OK. Wishing best luck to everyone in your nation!

Keep the faith, mate!

Happy New Year Matt!!

How is Ace doing?

I suspect, King Matt the first, has posted the loyal guard while the Royal Princess enjoys her beauty rest..

Gday folks. Apologies for the delay in posting. I went to the Philippines for a scuba diving holiday and then when I got back I had a bad case of CBF’d but I kicked my but into gear and got going again this afternoon.

I feel awesome. So much more energy and nowhere near as tired as I used to be. I’ve gone from a 135kgs wearing 5XL shirt and a 46 pants to 100kgs wearing a 2XL and a 38 pants and it’s been about 12 weeks. My goal weight is 85-90kgs

Matt - You do everything quickly and correctly - Art

Hi team.
Time to vote on which transom name design you like. I have a pic of two options. The third option is no marlin picture.

Colours I’m not too sure about yet. Just trying to work out designs at this stage.

Which one do you think? A, B or C?

B or C, for me. The marlin does not affect legibility at all in design B, IMHO.

B or C for me too. The fish in the first one kinda makes it look like 'SolstiGe' to me.
