New boat!

[Seastoke]

Now we know you are lying..

Don’t you have a gearbox to fix.

 

[Seastoke]

Google have you thought you could turn the engines around , and use it as a giant cake mixer , and open a ? bakery.

 

[BruceK]

Roy, you still at the Brickworks? Expect me to pass you this evening around 7-8 ch77. Have your radio on I'm not coming in to fetch you. Or see you at Lamb Island. Get the beers cold ?

port engine it's an hour or so, starboard engine it's more like a day and a half because you have to strip starboard side of the port engine to get in and then port side of the starboard engine to reach it (because keel beam prevents direct access under the aftercooler and oil filters etc

and if you drop a spanner, it stays under the sump till you remove engines to do some regular maintenance like change oil filters?
Don't tell me you can do oil/diesel filters in less than a day!
god it looks cramped in there...

Pretty much - every off season is Christmas, new tools recovered

Don't tell me you can do oil/diesel filters in less than a day!

Actually all common maintenance items are easily accessible. Getting to the back of the engines is where the nightmare starts.

 

[Mr Googler]

I can get to the front, back and sides of my engines in mere seconds ?

 

[Jamie Dundee]

I can get to the front, back and sides of my engines in mere seconds ?

I can turn mine on without emptying the petrol station…

 

[Seastoke]

I can get to the front, back and sides of my engines in mere seconds ?

Unless someone parks a car there.

 

[Seastoke]

Google I have been thinking , with global warming and rising seas your boat could be in the water before you finish sanding ?‍ boat ?‍

 

[Mr Googler]

Official naming ceremony today (aka stickers stuck on)

Going to cut some more out of the side screens to match curves at the bottom as per Vas ?

 

[BruceK]

Just put it in the water already you eternal faffer

 

[Mr Googler]

Just put it in the water already you eternal faffer

Nope

 

[BruceK]

Why not? Are you scared the trailer wont detach and will slow it down?

 

[Seastoke]

It would make a good Hearse then sell the engines to Rodders

Oh the irony - paint yours black and it is a hearse. Its got the same turn of speed.

Coz I’ve not finished!

engine porn…..


Tower of power???….no grinders where used in the production of the prop shine.

fitted my new collar section today…..it’s a bit of a wiggle but took approx 30 seconds….whilst sat in the sun.

Ran up the engine and idled smooth as silk….sorted ?

Oi! Who are you having a go at????

We already understood that particular predilection of yours when you bought a petrol boat that came with a blow up doll

 

[BruceK]

Who else apart from me shows props that look like they lost a fight with the pier wall?

 

[Mr Googler]

Starting the final clean up here and there.

Console was the focus today

Fitted new cover. There’s no one here that does decent work so had it made by a chap in the UK and sent over





Very happy with the console after a polish up



this P1 stuff is amazing. My detailer mate swears by it



also cleaned all the tanks today. Lovely job. Just for @vas. I’m 6’4” and fit in there easy ?



Deck needs a good scrub but as the boat lived in North Wales with little sunshine…..the gel coat comes up really easy?

Cutting the side screens later to introduce a curve ???
