Here's a picture of the Vee Gull I have just completed. It is all Aluminium with a 202 V6 working through a Volvo Penta leg. The hull is identical to the plans, but as you can see I've designed a cuddy cabin for it. I also moved the cabin forward 2ft to give more fishing room and more room to lay out our dive gear.

I was worried that the motor might be too small, but this proved not to be the case as we can cruise at 35 knots @ 3600 revs with 4 adults with gear aboard. It is extremely economical to run and only draws 2ft at rest. I Have booked up about 70hrs running time off the weather coast on New Zealand's North Island without any major problems.
