ha, no not planning on getting her antifouled, I have done a deal with Port Solent to have her lifted once a month and the hull powerwashed down. When I had the Ribcraft (which was not antifouled) in the Marina if I remembered to pull her out once a month and powerwash down, I found that kept the hull clean.

Then what I will do every second month, get the marina to make her the last lift of the day, so I can give her a proper wash and polish underneath..... or at least Dave from Boat Care can then drop her back in the water the following morning. Trying to get some lifting straps sorted out as don't really want her going in the lifting slings squashing the tubes.

The guys on Boatmad may be able to point you in the right direction. Or try PMing Cookee?

Comming on, isn't She Richard? Very Yellow , is that going to reflect in her name?

Richard

Just got his shot from the yard. As you can see the D fender is on and they are just finishing putting on the lower flat rubbing strake. The upper one above the D fender is still to come on.

Looks more and more like a rib

Lift and Shift do strops - you will need Parker to fit some lifting points into the boat if you want to avoid squashing the tubes, use a spreader, or one of those moving square yard cranes.

Lifting points are fitted as standard, 2 on the transom and 1 on the bow

Set up will be 8 winged back jockeys behind the consul, front seat integrated into the consul, with huge raised sun pad area in the bow, with storage beneath. (keep the misses happy)

A-Frame with Wakeboard towing point and liferings, with echomax on top, 2 x 220 litre stainless fuel tanks under the deck.

Electronics wise, will have the Smartcraft 5000 system, Garmin 2010c Chart Plotter and Icom 421 VHF.

Will post some photo's when I have some through.

Wonderful choice, you will not be disappointed, I have also got my clients to get a Parker, twin diesel (320hp) this week. What a hull!!! I did the initial trials on it in the big bad Baltic and knew then it would be a top class product, a lot of work went into that project from Andre and the Parker lads, well worth it, like the ideas you have on your spec, can't wait to see it, well done.

Thanks Dog, With Richard's Parker 900Baltic, your twin diesel (320HP) Parker 900Baltic and a single 320HP all Black Parker 900Baltic which I have agreed today that makes 3 in total for the UK market in such a short period of time. Not bad.

Boat looks interesting, and should like look very striking with the yellow and black colour combination, finished off with the twin Verados.

Look forward to seeing pictures of the finished interior layout and console / dashboard setup. What electrics are you having fitted ?

Thank you for your comments. I am going for the Garmin 2010c GPS Chartplotter, and the ICOM 505 VHFDSC, the Garmin will also be linked to the Verado command computer, so will give distance fuel required, etc.

Off next weekend to Poland for the last trip before she is put on a lorry for Calais. Can't wait.
