Spoke with Jonathan from Kennedy haulage today and he has rescheduled the collection of the boat for the 16th of October,
I also spoke with Alan from Procharter and he gave me some good tips for constructing the compartments under deck, the wheelhouse bulkhead and the rear deck,
He gave me a complete explanation on how to work with Nidaplast which is the honey comb structure
the deck and bulkheads are made from,
We also discussed boat speed and fuel consumption and he maintains I will achieve 30-31 knots with the duo prop on my boat,
apparently with an engine with 100 hp more than mine you only get 2 knots extra but burn an extra 2 liters of diesel per mile,
So as it turns out my choice of 220HP Mercruiser engine was a good choice, speed but low fuel consumption,
Alan recommended glassing the underdeck fitting the fuel tank constructing wheelhouse bulk head and then move on to fitting the engine and outdrive,
If we can get that much done before Christmas we will be doing well,
