You're not biased the 565 is an awesome hull. Done a very nice job on it. I'll be looking to upsize from my 445 cc to a 565l pretty soon.

Good one, love it and well done 👍 He is so happy with the outcome, that says it all. It’s definitely a one of a kind. 👌👌👌

[@florianhoflehner2877]

I think the color is pretty neat! Also, love the console layout and how every hatch is lit up!

[@stephenrojas6533]

$170 is not bad! Look what’s gone into the bloody thing! Y’all think like broke people.

[@maraiskenderian3994]

Exceptional project with a perfect outcome … so jealous

[@delianleague1356]

3 simrad sounders plus the v8 probably helped push the price to 170k lol

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Welcome to AUS where a landscaper can afford a USD 100k boat... Crazy. Good for him though... Maybe we should ask how they do it.

[@ronralston3592]

$170K, that comes with the RAM tow vehicle and a couple of strippers for that bow pole.... right??

[@kenoath193]

[@kiwiwifi]

Well done brother. She’s a pocket rocket

[@trogdortheburninator8149]

Beautiful build but can’t help but think it’s not an economical outcome, especially given the effort involved.

[@jeffrogonzalo5067]

[@palma8120]

Insurance for 170k... gee wizz

[@thinredline343]

[@medic9544]

[@Will-yr9bz]
