Thank you kindly Akeswins for your feedback.
Yes, the superstructure is aluminium too. People assume it is fibreglass.
I would have rounded the edges alot more if I could design it for a fibreglass top.

It is actually quite a serious heavy weather boat. Designed for gamefishing in a following sea. It is located in Kaikoura the Whale Watch place of New Zealand.
Thanks for your rating Kevdog.

Can you upload more photos , like interior , transom, and more details?
It would be interesting.
And which is aluminium thickness that you used for the hull and renforcements?
And about the displacement?
I had never seen a boat in so round aluminium, still compliments.

I think the entry is very poor on this boat, very spoonshaped and would make the boat ride really hard upwind The addition of the strake will make the charecteristic worse still.
I learnt the hard way myself, after building such great downwind boats, I then adopted deep vee forwards, one very short strake and sat the boat on top of the waves, in fact the faster they went the better the ride I can see this boat back to very slow speeds in the waters off NZ
The workmanship looks terrific

The painting job gives the hull an optical illusion as the hull would have a spoon shape, this is not the case. The foto is also foreshortened and the lines are more gentle in real life.
The hull performs very well in various sea conditions. Professional skippers own this boat and they have a very good report about it. I have developed coastguard hull shapes for many years. It is not only a good looker. Thanks for the compliment

Greetings from florida,USA As a comm. fisherman, your vessel would do nicely. Could your boat carry 2000# of fish? Are you selling kits or designs? Love the rounded wheelhouse. My wife is jealous, gotta go!

Hi rythminblue, I have designs and kitsets available. There is a DVD available taken from a helicopter when the boat goes along. The boat has recently been reviewed in Boating New Zealand magazine. Have a look at this website for additional information www.kingfisherboats.co.nz and sent them an email and I will get in contact with you. Buy your wife some flowers today so you have a good excuse to buy another boat. Regards from Win
