Let the season begin!

[Will33]

Back in November, after much delibiration i decided to put a new VP V6 in my Fairline Carrera. The work commenced just after christmas but after delays galore i finally made it out on to the coast today to sea trial the new engine and i have to say it has transformed the boat.

We managed to register around 29 knots and the joys of the duo props and power steering are out of this world. Hope you don't mind me sharing some of the pics of todays enjoyment!!

On way out:

Time to play

oh and some more playing

and sadly coming home!!

Roll on tomorrow /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You will be pleased to know the fender remained securely in place throughout /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
