just got myself a new toy im going to make it into a ultimate fishing platform. its 3mtrs long and just shy of 5ft wide. its unsinkable and very very stable. it will take up to a 30hp 2stroke outboad but iv gone foe a 15hp as i dont want it for racing about. ill be putting a few rod holders on it and iv just got a chopping board that bolts on and pivets. im going to use my standard horizon 300i gps/ff and a handheld icom vhf. iv not taken any pics yet but heres a few from the web of the exact same model and colour. it has twist grip throtle and single lever gear change the website aquaquad.com/category/image-galleries/CLShave a look around ryou can see the vid of it in action with a 15hp on it  bait table   ill update when i get time to do a bit of work on it |

iv had a few days rest from work so i got to work on my aquaquad heres a few things iv fitted engine is a 15hp mariner . iv had to make up brackets for the throtle and steering. now iv got it all working ill take them off and make some stainless coppies, im still waiting for the gear cable that i got of ebay. iv fitted the roll bar with bait table and rod holders. fitted the standard horizion gps.ff and new switch pannel. cut out a 6in hole to take the front hatch for the anchor and warp. and fitted a cleat to tie off too. ill be changing this for a stainless cleat when it turns up. iv got 2 flush mounts to fit in front of the petrol filler and gear lever. in no paticular order        olly |
