BananaShark 34' Build thread
Whilst this is a hard boat, so few boats are built from scratch now I thought this may be of interest to some people on here despite the fact that it is a hard boat - we do have drawings for a RIB version though, and will build one if the demand is there!
The first set show the tools required to make a level floor - using a level and a laser with a simple tool Kitten laid out the plywood pads where the plug would touch the floor.
Then the pile of laser cut MDF arrived from the nice people at www.cut-tec.co.uk and the jigsaw puzzle was assembled!

The jigsaw puzzle assembly continues!
That's all for now - more later!

It will look a lot like the picture below, and it will be powered by a pair of Yanmar BY260's with Arneson Number 6 drives and ZF63 gearboxes, the speed we are aiming for is 75mph, but anything over 70mph will be great.
That engine configuration will fit into Class "E" in the Marathon / Endurance series and if we get it done in time we hope to take part in the World Championships in Cowes next August, but that is seriously close, so we'll have to wait and see how it goes!

I think the photos show the plug being assembled - not the actual boat!!! No need to waste money on marine grade ply for a plug, I would imagine (but stand to be corrected if I'm wrong).

Now that's what I call a workshop. When I win the lottery I want something similar, including the inflatable shark, traction engine and paddles! Keep the pics coming.

There may be a small upgrade charge from the 6 metre - please consult the promotions and upgrade manager - sadly his reply is likely to be the same as post above mine!
