hi ive just finished (about time) my sr 5.4, thanks to alot of you guys for helping me find all the bits she is now ready for the summer, i built the console myself and built in a 60 litre tank under her i cut out the old deck which was rotten and glassed a new one in, but the tubes where in a real mess with defence police wrote down the side so i sanded them back and painted them with flexy paint for the rib shop and what stuff that is i was well impressed with the finish, i will get some more pics soon for you all,

cheers john i changed my mind when i was building the console on the duel one and went for the normal jockey now i wish i had built the duel so i might change her in the winter (if im really bored)

I saw that in the compound the other day, looks good mate

I've got a sea-rider with proper bad tubs, you recommend that flexy paint then?

I need to do the entire lot as large areas have been patched and repatched stripping off the hypilon.

tim2658 · 07 June 2009, 20:07

JSP · 07 June 2009, 20:19

DId you make your own console Tim?

tim2658 · 07 June 2009, 20:29

yeah done it myself john it was so hard to find one the right money then i wanted to hide the tank so i thought i would build it to the spec i wanted , and there had to be room for my raymarine gear, you cant see by these pics but there is a seat on the front of the console as well .
