    Hi anniebaloo and welcome, what part of the country are you as there are quite a few around also a standard upholstery service should be able to do it for you a bit cheeper just insist the use stainless steal staples and a marine grade vinyl or if you want to have a go at doing it your self I might be able to help you out.

    Fergal B,

    Came across your Malahini(?) construction, then your next boat photos.
    Gives me great hope; Fair play to ye, they are beautiful. Ive just started a Ski tow, got all the frames made and mounted on the form , after staring at the plans in fear for a month or two!
    Whats the biggest piece of advice; or what shoul I watch out for? Where could I hope to get a mercury like the one on your first boat?

    Hi nedkelly and welcome it's great to have another builder onboard :)

    Best bit of advice I can give is to start your own thread and we will take it from there.
    As to where to get an engine like that your best bet would be my shed :D
