Well I'll be! That's an Osprey Vipermax hull unless I miss my guess!

Bulwarks! Beaten to it yet again....

Try Lee at Fairweather marine, they gave me a good quote on an e-tec the other day, not quite that big but worth a try.

click here, only goes up to 90hp on the website but he is an agent for them.

i wanted ideally the 7.5 or possibly the 7 but have got a 6.5. i am getting quotes in on the engine and looking at the options currently
the guys who have been recommended i ahve been talking to already for a few days so thanks for the recommendations, currently reviewing some quotes on the etec

we are really looking forward to this build, but i am also finishing off the extension we built so will be very busy this coming winter

floor was cut and fitted this week and glassed in this afternoon so should have the new baby within 2 weeks. also secured the stainless today so will pick that up at the same time, then the fun starts i think, no pics as is 240 miles away but thanks for the pms asking how it is coming along.

will have my boat long before the famed codcraft at this rate!

just need tubes, engine, lights, seats, steering, nav gear, radio, time, compass, oh my god the list goes on and on and it is getting so cold out there now!!!

Give me a ring if you need to find Marine Fabrications in Chasetown for the stainless. It's a barstard to find, even with Satnav.

cheers for that

i have already instructed mike to fit the eyes on the back and one at the front so it can be craned anywhere needed, he has beefed up the bow locker ready for the front lifting point, also gone for having extra seating made so i can swap and change. had extra bolt patterns put down i the floor so can swap and change the rear bench for two extra jockeys

i visited sbs about 3 weeks ago when i visited the factory to give the trailers the eyeball. so have the addy in the chartplotter ready. will call if i get lost on the way to mark at marine fabrications

will be knocking on your door toooooo....haha

checked with mike and it is suspended in mid air on the crane points so looking good for sat pickup and he has remembered to put in the extra tow points

going for a dark blue non slip floor to match the tubes

Trailer paid for today ready for pick up on sat so all is coming together nicely
