Hey there.
One trend I've noticed (well over here in New Zealand especially) is that
Spearo's boats are usually a bit like patch work quilts.
By my observation a spearo's boat is usually a collection of Auminium chopped and tacked together with a dirty great outboard hung on the back. This assortment of parts looks like something out of the movie Mad Max.
It makes sense really, as a spearo you're less interested in water skiing and being a fat and bald poser in speedo's, besides all that wallnut trim and plush leather would be hard to keep clean of fish blood.
Nope as a spearo you're generally more interested in pure, simple, FUNCTION.
As a spearo you want a boat that will hold you and your dive buddies, all you're collection of spearguns, floats, fins. etc etc etc
You'll also want to get out to the spear fishing grounds as quickly as possible, (or atleast beat those other guys) and have somewhere to store all the fish you shoot while you're there.
I guess spearo's don't expect much really!rofl
Now to the point,
I've started this thread as a place to put up photo's of the DIY/Modified/homebuilt boats that you guys spearfish from. If you've done the work yourself and can share a short blurb about what you've done all the better.
