Anchor hatch with end of rope attached to bouy. Easy to just drop the bouy overboard when boat is on anchor, should a need arise to pick up divers quickly.........normally big shark in the area!!! Much easy to simply dump all the rope and bouy than to struggle to pull in the anchor. Also very easy for my girlfriend to pick us up if the boat is on anchor.

Hatch under gunnel for extra guns. Accomodates 4-6 gund per side. Biggest being a 115cm gun. Keeps the deck unclutered. Guns that is in use is kept in U-shaped brackets on the SS bar at the back of the boat.

COOL! Thats one hell of a mean machine! I loved the little storage places in the 2nd and 3rd picture. It should be very tidy while you are cruising

and yes the rabi apexs on top of that bar looks AWESOME!

I think that kind of bottom design will outperform even your rib in the harsh cape waters Happy hunting with it

Thanx guys!!!! Bad weather, 4m swell on friday, 40km/h wind today has kept me landbound. Will take her out this afternoon, just to see how she handles the ruff stuff

Okay, now only problem i have is to get a graphic done on the side of the boat. Was thinking of getting a nice picture of a GW on the side. Sort of like Bruce in Finding Nemo. (only appropriate that i use a GW shark, as they seem to have an unwelcomed attraction to me and my mates )

Any idea???

Regards
miles

Hiya Murat

Made of fibre-glass. Will be registered for 15nm (about 27km's). Generally a inshore boat. A wee bit too small for off-shore use. Legally bound to operate a vessel of this size with-in 15nm of the coast.

Regards
miles
