G'day fellas
I'm new to the site and must say there is a host of things to red about and some real good ideas from the boat buil section that I can incorperate into my Barra boat down here
I have recently purchased a Savage JABIRU 416 Vnose punt and I'm in the process of stripping it down and building it back up so as it suits my style of barramundi fishing and using it to catch mud crabs as well
I'll post up the pics of the strip down and where I'm up to so far
Regards

The boat as it was when purchased
The strip down and strip the floor out
Some one fitted the floor with steel tek screw and they were a lot of fun to get out
as you can see by what is left on the bottom of the hull the wood floor was not much good
Next was stipping the layers of paint off with aircraft stipper and a high preasure water blaster
I went out and bought a couple of sheets of 3mm alluminum checker plate to make the floor and new casting decks out of
and that's pretty much of where I'm up to at the moment
