[4.50_Drifter]

yes mate, that thread has a link... the link has pics...sorry you need to click twice ;)

[wrassinator]

update. bar work now complete...off to trimmers tomorrow for bim and clears. the front bim supports slot into the targa frame so I can puul the whole thing off in one piece for ease of towing. Awesome ali fab work by TODD LUBBOCK of EPIC Marine WA. Checkim out @ http://epicmarine.com.au/

Ado,
Nice job mate, how much did the ali fab cost you in total?

[wrassinator]

$500 drift. Job now complete with canopy and clears. This sucker is all 32 and 22mm ali tube. Ain't going anywhere in a stiff seabreeze unlike those outta the box jobbies and their pissy plastic rod holders (oops bagging plastic on ere sounds hypocritical...sorry...lol)..

Stoked, bring on the dhuuuuieeees !!!

Nice one Ado, looks like a great bit of gear. five hundred bucks sounds like a bargain!!

[Brucesta]

looks great and i'm spewing i didn't get to see it in Person. i'd be interested to see how the canopy goes, may require some bracing on a 45 angle from the targa to the canopy? i hope i can get my repairs to mine done up here for that money, some wicked re-inforcemnet is needed for mine

[wrassinator]

Very good deal indeed. All up with canopy and clears $1700. The canopy supports are 22mm ali tube Bruce. It's like a rock mate, you could swing off the end no worries ;-) There is no weight up there and the canvas tensions it up, while the clears pull it down. I'm pretty confident she's going nowhere fast nd no need for the bracing on the 45's, they only ruin the view. The beauty is I unclip the canopy and clears, pull out the framework and lay it all in the cabin for long trips to Karratha ;-)

[Brucesta]

good to hear mate. By all means come north and bring the boat or leave it behind and we can use mine when the weather turns to shit down there

[Pirate Pete]

The screens on the Polys arnt that solid wrassinator there are some members who had had their screens disintegrate with the wind pulling on them. It may pay to either brace the screen or removing it every road trip.

[wrassinator]

thanks pete totally agree. won't be towing with the clears in above 70km/hr that's for sure ;-)
