That guy in the first pic looks familiar. How are you Peter? How was your trip to the states? GDay Jim, Trip just got better & better. No downside anywhere, anytime. Everyone we met was super friendly & three months was not long enough. So we will be back this year or in 2009. Thanks again ...

G'Day Marty, Boat was purchased painted & had the paint matched at an auto paint shop. They then put the paint into a spray pack can which I used for touch ups. I would have preferred the hull to be bare but it came painted. Had no problem with bubbles but the boat was trailer stored & alway...

Hi Jay,
You have obviously done your homework on the way US boaters use & store their rigs. In Australia, 100% of the flooding hull plate boats would be either trailer, lift or rack stored with probably 95% on a trailer. I have never seen an alloy hull under 25' with antifoul on it.
