Dowdy was pretty much bang on the money, we burnt about 120 gallons, which works out at about 23mpg. I reckon pretty good really considering we were towing.

Thank you for all of the information you gave me - it is all ongoing and I am currently waiting for a quote, you have been very helpful and I look forward to taking you out in the beast when it's done!

Do you have a programme for the Arrow? Not wishing to put you in a piss taking why isn't it ready yet situation, just curious!

Please excuse my ignorance, just wondering what is the difference between running trim tabs horizontal, or parallel with the deadrise, and does it make a differance if they are used for racing or pleasure.

Making some templates:


Trial fitting the dash:

Trial fitting the beam and the 1st bulkhead:


Making the 2nd bulkead:
