We get this question a lot — and fair enough! If you’re thinking of building your own plate boat (or having one built), it’s important to know what you’re really getting when you order a CNC Marine kit.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included — and what’s not — when you purchase a CNC Marine kit boat.

What’s Included in a CNC Marine Kit

When you receive your CNC Marine kit, you’re not just getting a stack of aluminium and hoping for the best. We’ve designed our kits to make the building process as clear and streamlined as possible — like a giant, heavy-duty 3D puzzle.

Here’s what comes standard:

• All CNC-cut aluminium parts
  Sheet and extrusion, router-cut with precision

• Each part is marked, numbered, and ready to assemble
  No guessing — everything is labelled and laid out

• Assembly drawings + build sequence
  Step-by-step instructions to guide your build from start to finish

• Bend lines and angles clearly marked
  Know exactly where to bend, and by how much

• 3D model viewer access
  Open in your browser to rotate, measure, and visualise how parts fit together

• Designed to feel like a jigsaw puzzle — just add welding
  Intuitive, logical, and builder-friendly

• Custom modifications available
  Want a different console, layout, or hull tweak? We’ve got you covered

• Direct support from our CNC Marine team
  We’re always on the other end of the phone or email if you need a hand

What’s Not Included in the Kit

To keep your build flexible (and cost under control), we don’t include these items in the base kit:

• Motor/Engine
  You choose your power setup

• Buoyancy foam
  Required for boats under 6m — source separately

• Paint & coatings
  Your choice of finish

• Decking, windows, and glass

• Electronics (sounders, lighting, wiring, etc.)

• Trailer
  Available as an optional extra for CNC Marine boats only

• Seats, upholstery, and interior fit-out

• Plumbing (if needed)
