Really pleased to say that we have had a launching. Boat got wet this Saturday.
In true boating fashion it was all tight on time and I had to do an all-nighter (it was f cold in the workshop Friday night / Sat morning!) - but just got enough done to give her a run. Still a lot of finishing off to do and for the test the rear seat was not in, lifter gauge not connected etc etc.
Got our for about an hour before the tide dropped off. Anyway for a first test it went really well and gradually built up speed to around 77mph with two up and a lot of fuel. Certainly more to come and yet to play with engine heights etc.
Did not get any photos on the water as I was rushing around a bit - just this one before leaving the yard. Hopefully some of the others around that day might have some - but will be out again as soon as possible - or at least as soon as I have finished work for another builder!
