Hi, I have built quite a few of Nomads boats in the past, He is probably one of the best Naval architect in the country witch would put him up there with one of the best in the world. Im not sure Adam would send you nested cut files to have the kit cut in the US as he dose like to do a full kit pack...

An up date of the cat build, she is now ready to have motors and electronics fitted. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1/1560382_614880128583275_2104214544_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1/1620532_614880118583276_1362654724_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sph...

I would be talking to Chris Tucker from CTMD,http://www.ctmd.com.au/

Hi Kevin, I can give you the quick answer on what software Chris uses, and ill let him know you asked the question. All the 2D drawing are developed in AutoCad and both Maxsurf & Rhino are used to develop the 3D models. Here is a quick walk through Video of the boat before it goes to paint. [BBv...

Not sure on cost to the USA, but id be guessing you could get the same thing built in the USA for quite a lot less than getting on built and shipped over. the Boat finished in Aus ready to go to work is $250,000.

Nooooooooo not the forward slanting windscreen.

Will do, it’s not far from going to be painted and being fitted out. A pair of 150 4 stroke out boards will be rigged and it will hold 300L of fuel per side 600L in total.

Thanks MacCTD, We work very hard to get the nice looking smooth lines on our boats.

G’day all, we started this boat in November and it’s almost ready to go to paint. It was designed by Member CTMD. 8.0m Power Cat with a 3.2m beam. Some pics of the build, hope you enjoy. Cheers Pelagic Boats. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1458518_571084396296182_1009528772_n...

Yes we use a 12mm round bar punch in a 65mm V-bolck die. seem to work great on 4mm 5083 of all tempers. 5mm on the other hand is a different story, we pressed a job not to long ago with a 25mm punch in a 90mm v-block and every bend cracked.

We have been using this stuff for a few years now and its a great product that really does work. Cant go wrong.

Katoh, what are the prevailing prices in Oz? Our Unleaded fuel 91octanne sells down at the bay for Ave $1.60 Litre and the premium 98octane Ave $1.90 Litre. The diesel sells for about the same price as the 91. I'm not up to date with the efficiency of new outboards, but I know when I had my Cat the...

Sorry , Have to ask the question. Why Outboards? In this size boat ain't you better of with good old "Rudolf Diesel", with the price of fuel (unleaded) and especially the quality or lack off in Oz, the running cost would be horrific. I don't want to start a debate, but with so much new te...

You are spot on a forward facing wind screen will reduce glare, but they are not very popular here in Australia on boats of this size it’s not till you get up to a round 40'+ you start to see them. Island Cabs are also becoming very popular down here as well with the charter operators as well as som...

Sole height above waterline is almost 300mm, this is a little higher than normal but was required for the amount of passengers the client was wanting to carry.

Gday all, glad you like the boat, It was a 6-7 Month build for this one as it was very customised for the Customer’s needs. The reason for the rod holders has to do with where this boat operates and the amount of passengers it’s surveyed to carry. At one time it could have as many as 12 people fishi...

Its a Vinyl imitation carbon fiber, looks like the real thing and has a texture to it. It also reduces glare from the dash.

Hi All, Some pictures of that latest boat to leave our factory. It is a custom built 8.5m with a 3.2m beam and Island Cab wheel house configuration. It was designed for Charter fishing of Victoria's South East Coast. Hope you enjoy. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/227707_10151...

As for the cost to install an inboard diesel it normally comes to around the same money as fitting 2x outboards. as for just bolting an inboard into a boat that was designed for outboards, its not something we would do. you are pushing a lot of weight forward which will change the trim of the boat. ...
