Thanks
we're making them and they are to order, you can have any engine, seats, colour, electric's, stainless, windows, screen, etc, you'll have to come down and tell me what you want and i'll make it, the hull's and the mouldings are nearly all the same but you can change everything else, we do it all in house, we have machine shop and tube bending facilities up to 2 inch and one off mould making, tell me what you're after

biff: Would you do 2" tube bending for someone who wasn't ordering a new boat, or is it only for your own products?

the new boat side is not the biggest part of what we do, people turn up and ask me to weld an oogiemaflip to a watchermacallit or turn down a nylon bearing or make this
