Sawright, I have only been away for 6 odd years so I knew the Bunno's reference...good to know about the click floor too, ta muchly...

Thanks Mr Victor, just to clarify, was the teak and holly on the floor (sorry, deck LOL) or the walls etc ? And could you post some pics of both the walls and deck please ?:socool:

Sounds perfect ! I am off to research !:dance:

I was thinking of trying to put down some form of sound insulation before the flooring....if I can find something thin enough to not upset the door levels that will still have some effect. There is already a layer of foam/foil on the engine room side of the floor but given the size of the engine...

Nice bit of wood there Brent, welcome and I also look forward to watching your progress mate...

Whats on your list already ? Saves people posting redundant suggestions...your list might also give some of us some suggestions we didn't think of...

Good evening all, we currently have carpet over ply in our main living area (sounds a bit wanky calling it a salon LOL) and we would like to put down some wood flooring instead...I am VERY partial to the colors of cedar, the deep reds and pale blondes, is it possible to use the same type of...

I must admit I do use that box as my first 'go to'...but then I also use the main page at least once a day...

I was lucky enough to be in Vung Tau about 6 years back for work and a local took me to this ship yard just for a look. It was amazing. The thing that has stayed with me was the friendliness of the craftsmen and the AMAZING colors of the timber they were using, photos dont do the rich reds...

I will give it some thought mate, just so you know I am waiting on an email reply from the solar guru/sparky where I work. What do you intend to do with the Axe mate ? Weekender, live aboard, world travel ?:D

Yup How did you know I was looking for that mate ? I never did get it, it was more difficult than I thought....I am still in TX, I moved from Fort Worth to New Braunfels which is a really pretty spot... Where in Oz were you born ?:thumb:

Where in Vietnam is this being constructed ? Vung Tau ?

I was actually thinking that, the prop calculator page stated that a startlingly small amount of HP was needed to push it to hull speed....surprising to say the least...:eek:

This is the first time I have actually read your story from start to finish mate...youre a friggin legend. Seriously. The job you have done on your boat is superlative. Props mate, props... Craig

Ohh mate...don't put that on the boat, frame it and put it on the wall of the boat !:thumb:

Such a SHAME ! The original pics were beautiful...

True that. I made my own 'Yeti' cooler from a thick but cheap stryrofoam cooler from wally world then put 3 layers of closed cell house siding foam over the whole thing. Works like a charm....no reason why the same shouldnt work for a fridge. The real trick is then to not make it look like a...

Excellent advice, thankyou !

My thinking exactly, if the trans gives up (goes west, south or anywhere it shouldnt LOL) then I might change it up, for now its fine....although when I used the prop calculator on the website the other Gent suggested it did give me a totally different number than whats currently on her. But, if...

Thankyou Gentlemen, I will be doing a LOT of reading and investigation before I make any moves....

It was glassed, heavily, when it was first built...
