at last

got a crane in tommorow to lift boat onto new trailer its taken longer and cost more to build the new trailer than planned but its looking the buisness
i can get the boat in the barn at home now and run it up properly and give it all a good clean and check everything is ok before sea trials.

Congratulations! The trailer really did look good in the last pics! Can't wait to see what she goes like, it's a really 'different' project!

sea trails

i'll be happy with some forward progress and no major drive failures but i must admit to being more than a bit nervous, its easy bolting things together thinking it will all performe to the max but the when you start giving it a real good pounding it often ends in bits so i'm going to try and keep my head and record whats happening and push forward in a controlled manor.
