Wow, fantastic work, just fantastic. I really like the look of the enhanced coach roof.

Well done,

Took some pictures of boat on trailer and on water. Hard to get pictures under 90kb and look ok.
Roof works wonderful. Trip back from Metung to Paynesville on Saturday was reportable 30knots on the nose the roof didn't appear to add much windage.
We were out for 6 nights so it gave us time to test roof.

Headroom
Higher hand rails
No creaking from roof joints

Nice work Kev, just found this thread, better comment later than never

The bulwarks look good.! (My rub rails are getting a bit old but still hanging in there..one day they may need replacement)

Your bow fitting is strong, is it 2mm stainless?. I've noticed that the one on my boat is small and the roller furler drum gets in the way of the anchor chain..it could be better.

Cheers
