Not tall enough to lift it out of the mould while its in the gimbal! Anyway Gary was wearing his sunday best...
Torquay! Should be if Dublin gets his finger out and puts our motor back together. Among other things...
BTW, found a large crank, although it appears that we need one now too!

Finally got round to getting the boat wet this evening.
Still have a lot of set up to do but boat handles very well, could do with a few kg's up the front though 
First run was really just to check the engine was ok and set a bench mark for what we need to do.
Figures are 22 yam drag, 5600 @ 54mph, so theres definitely room for improvement.
Looking forward to moving a bit of weight around and playing with some props, also think the engine needs to come up quite a bit.
