[Jamie Dundee]

Cracking job Time to sell and buy something more practical ‘cos it’ll never ever look that good ever ever again not even once?

If he heads to Chicken Rock he’ll need to bunker on the way home ?

Not always. Even in relatively calm conditions the huge swirls turning the boat around give me the primeval willies

 

[Mr Googler]

Been round there a few times. The current is unreal!

I did 25 knots through the Sound once against tide…I was convinced I’d come to a stop?

Been like that in the Pentland Firth on an Offshore 105, I was making 23knt on the log and the GPS was saying I was doing 7knt ground speed and one of the Skerries was getting larger and larger off my starboard beam
It was only 30 minutes before slack water too!

Watching the buoys popping up to the surface all around us as the tide slackened off.

She looks fantastic, all that hard work paid off. Nice job.

 

[Bouba]

Hopefully launching in the next few days……a few boats need to move out the way in the boat park. Got to do the fuel up morning too ???

Please don’t ruin all your hard work by getting it wet, it’s not worth it ??

 

[bowler]

Looks brand new. Great work!

 

[ICTM]

That is a credit to your hard work, it looks fantastic !

 

[Ian h]

Boat looking great , you must be very happy, Lets see some photo's of it out on the water now

 

[Mr Googler]

She floats! Launching was no less scary than recovering on the stupid curved slipway!


misfire still there so no run out today however, swapped some coil packs around and found the culprit. New one on the way special delivery!

Run out very soon

shouldnt you use fender socks on your newly painted hull?

looks really good! well done, well worth the effort!

 

[Seastoke]

The guy with the Princess knows you well , plenty of fenders out.

ive got other fenders but my pulse was around 180 bpm after launching. I’ll sort when I’m calmer

Youll never mark that paint job with fenders……never! ???

 

[Mr Googler]

The colour completely changed once in the water. Went much more grey which was what I was after

 

[vas]

bring it down here with the turquise beaches and it will be proper black

 

[Flyingspanner]

Looks fantastic, the modifications and paint scheme have certainly made it look very modern and much improved, you should be very happy with the result !! - 5 star job

 

[MrB]

Has the helm seat got suspension, I think you'll need it lol. Cracking job, she's a stunner., a real credit to you.
