Hi Will,

What did you use for your transom drain holes?
How are they working?
Are they plugged or left open?
Any Comments / suggestions before I try them on my new cat?

Thanks,
Gerry

Gerry...i just drill a 1/4" hole or so in the very corners and leave them open. Works perfect...i do this in all my boats.

Just make sure you have enough flotation in the hull

What is the price for the Body and hardware AC R42.Plus post to Brunei Darussalam.Thanks

We don't sell the R42 on MGB. Contact Al Gorman -The AC Boat Dealer (link on homepage of this site) and he should be able to set you up.

Hi one & all ,i have a off shaw deep V and running a zenoah motor in it but am looking at buying a cat and there are ''3'' that appeals to me one of them being the R42.. Can anyone give me the ''EMAIL'' address to Al Gorman (beleave he is a supplier) - The cost of the Hull & Hatch /and hardware - postage to New Zealand.
Many thanks
Marc
ps if you know Al Gormans email you can send me his email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Not 100% sure if Al is still a dealer for AC Boats or not, but I sent you an email.

Hi just checked my email and nothing has come through as yet.If Al is no longer a supplier do you have anyone else in mind or are these boats no longer been made?

many thanks
Marc
