    These ones did have.. the more common version would be what we call a T top here.. a lot of boats in the UK seem to shy away from covers! Steve

    Funny our twin cummins with the silicon marine kit sit all day at 32 degrees with 23 degree water - however at just above idle - ie 900-1200rpm - its creeps up to 70+deg pretty quickly. We have the graphed version of the silicon marine one - but even the simple ones are actually quite smart and...

    Yep I met him when our friend launched his then 100 year old boat after a plank by plank rebuild. Len did the design for the lug sail mast etc for it.. and came to the grand launch.

    The Cummins engines are a bit lower revving although I'm not sure what size the d6 is.. but the 6bta is one of the largest number produced engines in the world and is /was used in trucks and buses all over. Good base engine that does need maintenance but when done right can last 10 to 20000...

    Yeah it takes a while but we'll get there.. i'll pm you as soon as its possible. I'm on Q jetty on the club side.. Pens are getting a bit steep price wise in Hillarys now. Hopefully they will realise they are killing the industry and reverse some of the fees! The turbo things doesnt surprise me...
