Not sure to be honest but £100K or more I would think.
Hull probably £40-50K, engines £10-12K, licence £20-25K add to that hydraulic power pack, hauler, davit, table, electronics etc etc.

Not made huge progress due to foul weather, materials still to be delivered and having to go car hunting.
We did get the engines fitted but no pics of them, thought I had taken some but seems not
Today the weather is better in that there is no rain, although flurries of snow every now and then, but still blowing a gale, just lucky the tide is just growing now or the Sea would be pounding my workshop
Got the parts cut, for the Davit, a few days ago but didn't have a long enough dwell for the pierce so the first holes were not great but edited the code and the rest came out fine. It is 12mm 5083 Alu.
Got most of the Davit welded up today, just balancing it in the vice to weld as no room in my workshop and, as mentioned, too windy for outside. Not the ideal situation but needs must.
The EWM makes life a bit easier in the cramped space though as positional welding is much easier with the Pulse.
Couple of closer pics of welds in the positions they were welded in.

Some of the longer runs could have been better but cramped space made it difficult, well that is my excuseAs always, very tidy work

Bit of progress, got the gunwales capped , the davit arm welded in place and the hauler and spool valve attached.
Went to make the roller for the davit and my lathes computer crapped it half way through, will have to try and get that sorted tomorrow, I do have a spare so hopefully it will be an quick fix although I am considering putting in a mini ITX motherboard instead of the Via Pico.

It’s about time we saw those skills.
Go and finish them in a manual like most of us have to.

Is that anything special or just an x86 unit? I have a SFF board here that you're welcome to. About ten years old or so, Intel modelnumberIcantremember. Will dig it out to check specs if you're interested x

I use he manual lathe 99% of the time, usually only when I need to do fancy curves or shapes that I use the CNC. I used to make these rollers on the manual but they were just Vee shaped but now I make them with a curved surface as it allows the rope to move freely over the surface and thus last longer.It’s about time we saw those skills.

Yes, any mobo will do and I have plenty room in the lathes cabinet for a full size mobo. The reason I used the Pico was as a test, I wanted to see if it would be good enough and that way I would be able to use it in future retrofits where space was limited.
I have a few mobos here one of which I will probably put in if the spare Pico doesn't work. Just trying to take the quick route of same hardware so I can just pop in the same HDD and power up but if it doesn't work then no real problem as I have all the important files and folders backed up.
Thanks for the offer though, I appreciate it.

Nearing completion. Still waiting on the auto pilot arriving and have a few wiring jobs to complete but most of my work is done and hopefully the launch will be the end of this week or the beginning of next.
The shooting table is second hand and came off the 10m Cheetah I put a new table on a month or two back so that saved a bit of expense.
The MCA and Whitefish inspectors still have to come before the boat can be used, the Whitefish one is coming next week but no word yet on the MCA
Anyway a couple of pics.
