As previously stated this is a budget build so old washers used for anchor hawse's.
Anchor not yet fixed as will need to paint hull

Not needing speed so going to use a couple of 6v lead acid batteries. Placed them into hull to take into account for ballast needs

Waterline added. Tested in bath now that ballast installed. Sits well s can proceed with fitting deck to hull
