Heard you acquired some beastly history, congratulations!!!
Yeh, I'm leaving it a transom mount and low floor, the way it rolled out mate.The process has become longer than I intended but oh well, what's the rush I suppose.The grinding and cutting has taken it's toll on me though.. seeing a chiro nearly every week, I'm not joking..All the best with the resto mate and if you need chat yell out.

Its back at a mates place who's helping me with the project.
Call me at work and we'll catch up.As far as the low floor goes I mentioned low floor as most people are only familiar with the eden Craft Formula up my way and are surprised at the freeboard of mine.
The next stage is begining this weekend.

i have been through all the moulds and i am sorry to say that the original 233 haines / 2 piece wave breaker has gone walk about... i could make you a new part.... but it would cost to much..as we would have to form a new mould....but..... if you were thinking of a new screen made of alloy and toughened glass ... i know that alfab in melbourne have the templates...as i have purchased these screens before...if you ring me ...i should be able to get a better price for you on this as a manufacture
.... we are now in production of edencraft boats and have now gone composite ... we are now laying up with a full layer of carbon fibre....
