Waving goodbye
Sad day tomorrow.
Say goodbye to my phantom, could be a bit emotional 
I'll never forget the day I picked it up, was chuffed to bits then and have been the whole time I've had it.
Pic from when I first got her home, even got Bazzas race number is still on. Dont think the sound has ever been so flat as that day.

Cye, sat here at work trying to sort a few bits out before we leave. I'm sure when I'm on the way back all will be good in the hood, just hope all goes smoothly.
dbe1, your bang hotshot + 1.
Oh, and as for the merc decals, yeah they were very good mate, unsure if thet made the boat or not but very good I think the real finishing touch was the bulldog pic on the back on the 280 cowl, now that finished it off a treat!!!

I'm sure it'll all be good when you've got the new toy Dan!
Engine is very nice btw, was a mate of mine who bought it from you after I showed it to him on here, I'll be putting it on his P20 in a couple of weeks time.

Yeah for sure, the trailer should have been done by now but it come back to me next week, then fit steering, tabs are all drawn and should be started next week then it just the engine.
Yeah, it was a nice engine and if I had sold the hull and traielr first I would have kept it, can you remind your mate to send the lifting eye back asap, like I explained its not mine.
cheers
Dan
