A top job, the Global Marine AIR RIDER is a great vessel - a soft ride that seems perfect for the fetch off WA... Excellent effort in the build, obviously taking care of the metal. Cheers to all - Jeff

@michaelchild145 Год назад

Thanks jeff the Air rider is such a great hull design and very fun and challenging to build

@jmpersonal2402 Год назад

@@michaelchild145 quite a few have been built recently in Southern NZ and by fellows who know their stuff... Their local Southern waters can have an evil fetch, yet the Air Rider seems gentle on the crew. Dingo Marley (Sea Rescue Bunbury) rides well...

@michaelchild145 Год назад

Yer mate definitely Diego Marley is our local sea rescue boat in Bunbury WA. They have been used a commercial fishing and sea rescue boats for years. The new Malaysian customs boats look good too. Good to see they ate making there way over to nz. Next level hull the only issue is that there is a lot of hours in one compared to a std monohull so more $$ but worth is i recon.

Wow Michael, amazing build, what a boat! Saltshaker sold?

@michaelchild145 6 месяцев назад

Thanks mate. Yep salt shaker is sold and the guy has been doing some trips in it. I coulnt keep both. And as you can imagine needed the budget for this build.

@@michaelchild145 I still have my 5m CC, while you upsized, I will most likely downsize 🙂 Fabulous build as usual mate. Coincidently, I bought the SWS Alumig as well, really great, wish I had it when I built the 5m CC.

@michaelchild145 5 месяцев назад

Yep mate I def do miss my 5m cc as I had it 10 years but def enjoying having a cabin and a propper helm seat and position in my old age ha ha yer the sws was mint. Def wish it was around when I built my first one.

Hi Michael Great job on the build!! Very impressive. I’m looking at doing the same build and seen you where using a dual pulse SWS 230 mig. Looking at your welds it looks good. Where you happy with that welder ? As very well priced. Also I would really like to have a chat with you prior to our build. Do you still live in Bunbury as I’m not far living in Kirup. Look forward to hearing from you. Rob

@michaelchild145 10 месяцев назад

Hey Rob. Yep mate still in bunbury. My mate Blair just called me about you popping around and he’s going to pass on my info or find me on book face. Happy to run you through everything.

@RobertTassone 10 месяцев назад

@@michaelchild145 thanks Michael I’ll give you a call one night and work out a time that suits you to come and check it out and have a chat.

@michaelchild145 10 месяцев назад

Sounds like a plan Rob !!

@TheChrisrobbo 6 месяцев назад

Hey Michael How's the fuel economy with the 140hp Suzuki's? What size tank did you go?

@michaelchild145 6 месяцев назад

Hey mate I upgraded the fuel to the max from 250lts -360lts and had to sacrifice the kill tank from the std design. I haven’t looked lately but early on i was getting 1.2 litres per norticle mile or 1.54km per L. So 60.1 nm traveled 73L used. I’d expect better now it’s run in but considering those numbers are for fuel total for both motors and the boat weights over 2.5 tonne and I drive it hard that’s pretty good in my eyes.

@17th_Street_Preacher 3 месяца назад

Does the design require 2 motors or can you run a single?

@michaelchild145 3 месяца назад

Hey mate The design didn’t require 2 motors but it all depends on the weight and its position. As the entry is so fine at the front the more weight like I have on the front with minnkota, suspention seats, fridge and anchor winch requires a bigger weight at the back to counteract the weight at the front. It’s about it sitting corectly at rest and ensuring the perfect ride. A fair bit of design goes into each hull from GMD and its basicly a full custom hull. Like all boats everything is a trade off. Hope that makes sence. I’ve seen this hull and the smaller and larger hulls with single motors before.

Whats the flat forfoot area in bow for Looks odd where bottom sheets are butted up then almost looks like a bit half a meter long shaved off

@michaelchild145 9 месяцев назад

Good spotting mate. Its a new part of all Airriders ( about 4 years ago ) the GMD guys developed it and it’s meant to eliminate breaching or grabbing on an angle in a following sea at high speeds. You tend to slide down a wave and it dosent grab at all. I must say the airriders have never been known for doing this but just adds that extra level of protection in from it. It’s been in the the water for 6 months and I’ve never had an issue and travel back in following sea at 30+ knots regularly.

@scaifefab4585 9 месяцев назад

How much did kit cost?

@michaelchild145 9 месяцев назад

Contact global marine design mate. As every kit is different.

@scaifefab4585 9 месяцев назад

Have done pall got a cost for cut files to get one cut in uk Stephen collett super helpfull Ps she looks sweet you made a nice job i know whats envolved i built a 4.2 from cnc about same time you built your 5m cnc

@michaelchild145 9 месяцев назад

Cheers mate if you can build a cnc you shouldn’t have a problem. The drawings are more engineering drawings from GMD so there isn’t a step by step rough how to like CNC but that’s why I did the video to help guys out who want to build one. Let me know how you go mate. Im interested in how you go and always available for questions if needed.

@scaifefab4585 9 месяцев назад

@@michaelchild145 cheers , dont think following drawings will be an issue as thats my day job , not necessary boats although have built 10 upto now but complex fabrications, although we used to do the prop nozzles in steel for a large boat building company near us some of which were 5 tonnes each

@michaelchild145 8 месяцев назад

Yep mate. You got it easy then. I just look at welds now a days so the drawing bit was the easy bit. Fab speed was the bit that took way longer for me Ha ha. The green will be the other thing you notice compared to other builds. But there is a reason for it as there are so many hull joins that there can be some variations in the final product so they allow green so there isn’t any issues just takes a bit to get your head around why but at the end you see it.
