👉Boat Chats with CNC Marine

Liam and Marsh sit down for some honest, unscripted feedback from builders who’ve been through the Pure Plate boat building course.

We hear from Wayne of Maritime Customs in Geelong — an experienced fabricator stepping into his first full boat build — as he shares what surprised him most, the small tips that made a big difference, and why the course delivers value even for seasoned welders. The conversation dives into not just building boats, but building a business, learning efficient processes, and understanding how real-world boat sheds operate.

The boys also catch up with Luke from Mezcal Fab to break down why this course stood out, how the group dynamic pushed the build forward, and why sharing knowledge helps lift the entire marine industry.

If you’re thinking about building your first boat, refining your skills, or transitioning fabrication experience into marine work, this episode gives you a genuine inside look — no fluff, just real-world insight from people doing it.
