Have you met our friends Matt and Iefke, the talented creators behind 'A Boat by the River'?
As the weather warms up here in beautiful Tassie, they've enthusiastically returned to the exciting journey of boat building. What makes their endeavour even more captivating is that they've been meticulously documenting every step of this remarkable undertaking. If you're eager to discover their unique insights and techniques, we seriously recommend diving into their engaging video series!
In this video below, Matt finishes his engine box. Installed with clever hinges and top of the line soundproofing material. Next up, Iefke applies fibreglass to the interior hull planking in the stern until she gets a phone call that maybe the house is on fire! Quick thinking and some salvage work to be done when she gets back to the boat. She also tries to give a small explanation about the basics of working with fibreglass.
