I flattered Freddie, but my 14yo son would kill me!  Also, it's the first drop deck I've made so I'd hate to sell something that might turn out to be a dude.  This weekend will see it get a good work out so I'll let you know how it goes.  I'm planning to make some more if I can find a good reliable source of materials - this one has about $100 worth of 1.5mm hoop pine ply and I guess maybe $20+ worth of fibreglassing gone into it.  I've gotta find somewhere cheaper for the ply/veneer, but I'll keep you posted!  Deeks

where do u get the ply from?

From a boat building supply mob in Seaford, Melbourne. Marine timbers is their name and they get the stuff for hobbyists and dudes who build ultra lite planes.

They can get it in 2400 x 1200mm sheets. They also can get birch and gaboon but it's pricey...

Cool. Check with your local yacht club / boat supply places - you might find someone who stocks or can order in. The stuff is often used to build kayaks and such...
