Burty, Ph@ntastic and Carl B

Thanks guys for your welcome comments.

Yep! she's coming along in leaps and bounds now....or rather 'At last!'
Although we do have quite a few parts to start/finish fabricating. Such as Shifters, Wing Plates, Water pick-ups, Hinges and Latches etc.
After which it'll be on to the electrical and Hydraulic rigging.
Oh! annnnd of course.....sometime soon I must come to a decision on the interior colour .....and graphics, if any!
Sooooo.... I will hopefully see you guys at Poker Runs or out in the Solent this coming season....Fingers crossed.

And Yes Carl.....Absolutely! I can't wait to get the beast on the water and see how the P25 performs in the rough stuff. I'm told they are Awesome!

Trailer Swap

Well!...... Ain't Hindsight a wonderful thing......

Having decided to carry out the trailer swap on the drive with aid of an engine hoist, a bunch of wheels and tyres and of course some additional muscle. Curtasy of Puppiesballs and AndyMac.....Which initially all sounded very simple in theory. It soon become obvious that despite the freezing temperatures that had persueded me against getting wet with a simple launch and recovery approach. This would have been far the easiest method....And that getting into the freezing cold water would have been a far less riskier idea too, rather than the heart stopping trauma incurred swapping trailers on the drive. Especially, baring in mind the constant threat of damaging the custom paint job which had taken the last year or so to complete.

Needless to say, when the boat was finally on it's new trailer, unmarked and unscaved! there was a definite sighhhhh of relief.

Here's a few pics of the precarious positions the boat was left balancing in.

It will get wet when steve doesn't manage to out the umbrella in time when it rains next. I'm sure he doesn't want that nasty salty water on it!

We're looking at hopefully early season for some prop trials.
I have a pair of 30" ET Lightnings which I'll be trying before having them worked/reduced to perhaps 29", if they're tooo tall.

Steffy,
It's looking fantastic steve!

I can understand why you yanks don't like the English boats. They are all long, slim and good looking. You lot prefer short fat things.
