    The Bristol Freighter of the sea. So many rivets floating in loose formation. Those that don't leak are about to leak. Still like mine though.

    Very surprisingly its not actually the rivets that leak most, I went round and peened the offenders and its been good since, its the hull itself and the stiffeners cracking that is the issue....she is bloody old and bloody thin.

    Yeah, think the thickest parts on mine are the welded repairs.

    I dont doubt Woody is a good bugger.
    I like the look of his boat.
    The guy who built it does not want to build anymore or sell kits because they are not on his website.
    Simple really, if you want to sell kits put kits on your website and they will come up in google searches, people will buy them,magazines will do reviews,people will put up utube videos of the build and running BUT MOST OF ALL IF YOU SELL KITS PUT THE FUCKEN PRICE ON YOUR WEBSITE!

    Things that fuck me off.

    Websites that tell me/show me nothing and that is pretty much every bloody boat builder in the country.
    Show me a product with no price!!!!

    Clearly you do not want my money if you cannot even decide how much of it you want.

    Its almost to the point I will buy the first one that has a price on it, cos you know if you have to ask you cant afford it.

    I dont email and I intensly dislike talking on the phone like most males,I also intensly dislike people who ring my work phone at lunchtime so I dont ring anyone at lunchtime if avoidable.

    If 400 people rang for a price and that phone conversation cost you $100 in lost earning potential each are you not reatrded for not putting the price on your add?(the website)

    A lot of boat builders won't sell kits because they don't want clowns making a mess of their products.



    And that I totaly understand, what I dont understand is not putting a price on your products. Imagine going to do the grocerys in a supermarket with no prices on anything,how do you compare products ?

    Same here.

    But if something is not listed and I think it is something they will likely have or be able to do I will ask. Some get quite enthusiastic about something a little out of the ordinary, gives them something to think about while they're wandering from the shop floor to the office. Emails work well as they can be viewed at a convenient time for both parties.
