This is the same like the one i'm getting minus the outboard.
I opted for an inboard(oldfashioned maybe)
Inboard better for fishing mate
it makes the boat more stable i believe and i took my
father in laws advice

a ford 18ltr with turbo.

I am thinking of making an extension to the centre console so that when the wind picks up I wont get wet while driving. Attached is a very rough idea of what I had in mind. Any ideas or suggestions?
you can make a stainless steel frame on the front and sides of the console so that the top of the frame comes higher than you when standing up. then you make like transparent plastic as cover than can be rolled up when not in use.
That frame u are suggesting moon will be bent out of shape in no time at all. If u have a frame the tendency is to grab hold of it while driving. So better to make it sturdy. if u have a look on internet there are a lot of ideas that will suit ur purpose and more. U can add a rocket launcher for the rods.....and as busu said u can do a roll up clear plastic the only problem with rolled plastic is that it will crack in time as plastic likes to be stored flat but thats something that wont hurt ur pocket that much.
if u google 'sports fishing baots' u are bound to find what u are looking for. These are more familiar with American baots rather to European ones.
Thanks guys. I was thinking of a s/s frame too but am not sure how sturdy it will be. Will google around and take some more ideas.
you have to use the soft plastic like those that you find in some bars or restaurants. they roll it down when it is raining. Gomez Blanco do them to your measurments
The s/s frame is now ready and its quite sturdy - pics will follow this evening or tomorrow. I also added another fuel tank for longer trips :)
Now I need to decide on the material to use to cover it. Soft plastic is good so that it can be removable. But I need something that the water droplets does not stick to it so that I can still see through it. Does it depend on the material or is there some paint/spray that will make water droplets fall off instead of sticking to the surface? Any ideas?
