Thanks for the info. My friend let me take the model 49" Perkasa away to evaluate over next few days. Building plans look very straightforward, and not another nightmare to undertake as has been the case with this Smit Rotterdam. Thanks though to a very patient spouse, I continue to make headway on it.
My only concern now is the fittings and such for the Perkasa that are not supplied with it. I guess a good browse around the internet will remedy that. it was too late to put build progress photos on this website for the Smit but I will be doing for the Perkasa. Thanks for all of your help, advise and the links.
Bill.

Yes I guess that it might have been a bit difficult. Never mind, it is good to chat with you through this website if that is all we have available at present (barring Star Trek Transporters!!!).
