Very nice boat. Like someone else, I loved the building you had to build it in and would to have the design if you have one.

Really lovely to see this presentation of a lovely little motorboat build, very inspiring!, Thanks, I live in Norway and intend to build a similar boat, and as such will need to make a protective tent to keep the snow and rain off the task, is there a design for your tent construction or is it your own?
