You Don't Have to Know How to Weld to Save Thousands by Building Your Own Aluminium Kit Boat. |
If you are prepared to do some organising and a bit of running around you can save thousands of dollars.
Check out our Kit Boat Range to see if we have a design that's right for you.
All you need is the organisational skills to follow one of these three easy options
OPTION 1 - You can have the kit delivered to the boat builder of your choice.
You pay them to assemble it and then finish it off yourself. Just follow these easy steps.
 |
Have the kit delivered to your builder. |
|
Order a trailer and deliver it to your builder. |
|
Book a painter and take the boat to them once the fabrication is finished. (Some builders offer a painting service). Once at the painters order your engine as they can have a long lead time. Make sure the quote includes steering, batteries, instruments and navigation lights. |
|
Organise to get the windscreen fitted and book your trimmer. |
|
Get the motor fitted and tested (windscreen should be on before water testing) |
|
Take the boat to the trimmers for carpets, seats, and clears. |
|
Finally fit your locker hatches and fittings. You can do this yourself or take it back to your builder who can do it for you. That's it - you're ready to enjoy your new boat. |
The builder will give a warranty for his work, as will the painter and trimmer. The engine supplier will give an engine manufacturers warranty.
So not only do you Save Money by Organising it Yourself,
you Still Get a Comprehensive Warranty.
OPTION 2 - Assemble the kit yourself.
If you can fabricate and weld then you can save even more.
OPTION 3 - Buy a Stage 1 Kit.
This requires the least amount of work on your part. We have the kit professionally built by our builder and you can then organise the rest such as motor and trimming. See our DIY Page for more on this option.
But don't just take our word for it, make some phone calls, get some quotes and then compare the cost of these options to buying from a dealer.
There is one catch though - it takes longer so don't wait until summer. Get your boat built over winter so it's ready for the good weather.

Designed in 3D using the latest 3D CAD software, our DIY aluminium boat kits are built in the computer before they are physically built. This allows us to develop the most efficient construction methods which saves time and money. It also allows us to produce easy to understand 3D drawings. Free Sample Drawings Available Here
.
Our comprehensive drawing set features 3D Assembly Instructions guiding you step by through the construction sequence. #
Our aluminium kit boats are designed to cope with the choppy waters encountered off the Perth coastline and feature our exclusive "S" shaped inverted chine with variable deadrise hull. This combination was made possible using advanced Naval Architecture software and results in a unique hull shape that is both stable and soft riding.
We have tested in the open waters off Hillarys boat harbour in a 2.5m swell. We tested into the swell, beam on to the swell and running with the swell. The boat stayed dry, did not broach and maintained a comfortable 25 knots.
We have developed this web site to show case our designs and to give prospective boat owners some basic information on what to look for when choosing a boat. See our Design Features page for more....
If you are hoping to see magazine cover style pictures of boats jumping over waves then sorry but we cant help you. No matter what the deadrise of any hull, 1500kg of boat jumping over a wave is going to land hard. For that reason we have designed our hulls to stay in the water and cut through the waves - not jump over them.
Our latest questions answered.
Q. Does a sealed deck mean a boat wont sink if it gets a hole in the hull?
Q. How can I tell if a boat has floating frames or not?
See our FAQ page for the answers.......
