Always nice to see new people starting a build go for it .
Have been a bit distracted on my build due to the fact that I bought another boat. Did not want another boat but it had nice double Axcle trailler that I need for my boat.at 6000 rands it was a bargain . Needs a little work and then some fun . Its a van der stadt buccaneer 23 ft
