Poll: Baddest looking boat

[h2oskiier30]

Allison XR2001 or Triad DR20.

Both look like they're running 100mph even when just sitting on the trailer.

My vote for baddest looking boat will ALWAYS have to go to the V-King YT. That is one WICKED looking hull AND deck.................

Thank you for the props on my trailer dude

Back in May we noticed the rust was starting to get a bit bad on the old girl so we took it apart and had it sandblasted, and, it fell to bits...

Turns out that the paint and good luck was holding it together... Now as far as mates and team-mates are concerned, mine rock! I'm not a "metal" guy. I work with timber - metal just gives me the dirts. Starting with the bare frame, my blokes cut all the old ribs out of it and the back off it, they then fabricated new ribs on site (in an old shed at a mates place), had a new plate folded to suit the back, then cut and fabricated it to suit the trailer.

Then we had to figure out what lights were going in it. It previously had large multi-light units that are normally used on trucks and they were just bolted on the back. It looked ok for it's day but we wanted to modernise it. We looked at several types of LED's until we came up with what you see. My mate who is the wiz at welding and fabricating then sat down with the grinder and a 1mm thick disc and proceeded to cut THE neatest holes I've ever seen in my life. Every light is a nice, snug fit, including the reversing lights which we hid down in the bottom of the guards (I think they're the coolest part cause you don't see em till your really looking at it. The back is now smooooth...

We then hoisted it up, primed it, painted it in 2 pak black, wired it, and then re-assembled all of the checkerplate (which I had powdercoated). Total build (rebuild) time - 3 weeks which consisted of nights and weekends, in the dead of winter, when you couldn't get your fingers to co-operate!

Here's some more pics of the finished article - I'm quite proud of our home-made rebuild. It's also since received a nice set of new axles and chrome 17" wheels.













Of course, it helps when one of your other mates has a crane truck too!

I like the pic, Frank. They always look better in groups taking up a bunch of beach. Stream, STV, Allison, etc. etc. They all look good.
