Miro, The Ruby Too, has silver ash for ribs and planking is marine ply. The decks are teak, and seats and knees and other timber bits are Huon pine,Rosewood and Tea tree, the floors are Australian Beech.When we are finally finished with varnishing the decks and combing, the seats can go in,as they are already varnished and taking up space in my mums study. We are still coming to terms with the Stuart Turner p55 but are slowly learning the motors likes and dislikes.
I will post some more pics when we have the boat more complete.
