Well it's almost finsihed bar the bling bling, and on the water it felt like a different boat, really well balanced.

The first few photos are obviously of the finished bits. I'm going to do a front casting deck extension all the way to the console. Between the console and the front hatch will sit my 45ltr tank. Finally put Al's Lexel to good use waterproofing the front. I will probably be using the stuff you can see behind mutant ninja boy. It's honeycomb fibreglass, very strong, not a great deal lighter than ply but hey it won't rot in a hurry, and all for a slab of crownies (yet to be delivered)

This is the fibreglass I used. It's about 12mm thick. It does flex a bit so I needed to strengthen it in places with alum angle, but it is heaps lighter than ply and no issues with rotting.
