Rec. Engine Power: 50-150HP
2. Hull Type
The CDM M56C hull is a moderate deadrise high performance design with reasonable rake of stem (48° from horizontal) and forward sections to achieve a compromise between easy planing ride quality and load carrying/stability with good tracking. The hull topsides are flared enough for the desirable dryness and aesthetics but are the required height for safety and fishing comfort.
3. Construction
The vessel is constructed from all DNV certified marine grade aluminium. The hull is constructed from full depth transverse web frames. Aft girders reaching two frames forward from the transom (Half Pod) complete the strong, yet light main construction matrix.
50 x 6mm and pre-cut plate bottom stringers are used for bottom longitudinals. The fully welded deck is slot welded by pre-cut slots on a T-Bar grid. All plate is 4mm DNV Certified 5083 H321 grade.

AVAILABLE POWERING OPTIONS:
I am thinking about having a go at building an aluminium boat. I like this one, It comes in a kit from western Australia. The kit is all hull and deck plates plasma cut just weld together, well hopefully. I need to spend a bit more time practising with the MIG. I feel fairly confident after reading about many amateurs with no previous experience building many different alloy boats from this crowd.

The cost of the kit is $8300au about $1500au freight
The missus reckons she could take a nice holiday somewhere overseas with the money but I think this would be more fun.
