| My Sportfisher/ Fishing boat build she 's out of the shed
Afternoon,
Well it finally happened and I 've got her out of my shed. I made up a bit of a sled arrangement put it under the cradle, took the back of the shed off. Hooked up a tow line to the old cruiser kicked her into gear and took off and never looked back .
Thankfully the boat came out alright and the shed is still standing so it's all good. It's the first time I have been able to clearly see the lines of it. Took me surprise how big it really is. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it. Just have to sort my trailer out and the bow rails and a couple of other small bits rubrail etc, then it's off to get the motor fitted ( DF140 hp Suzuki )

Gary, where are you located down in OZ? I love the wide open spaces of Australia. It's like California was when I was a kid.

Thank's BrotherBen 723 it hasn't come up to bad the paint job lets it down a bit when you get up close though.
Hey BiggestT mate I'm in a small counrty town called Mungindi about 6hrs drive west of the coast in the state of New South Wales a fairly hot dry area we normally seem to have 2 different kinds of weather these days,either a flood or in some sort of drought. As soon as I get this boat finished we are moving back to the coast in the state of Queensland which is were we are originally from. The wide open spaces are good but it's just a little bit to far away from the salt for my liking.

Gary, I have been watching your progress and I must say it is looking good!!! Most boat building projects are never finished so congrats. I bet you will have lots of blood on her deck soon.

I think the boat is excellent and even more so that you constructed it yourself!
