You can have my ride on old lawn mover, twin, 24hp, comes with tie rod steering, and 3 blade cutters, and a grass collector, uuum I mean paddle wheel for extra ooomph.

You've got me thinking now. Wasn't sure what to do with the old thing. Might connect the blades in reverse, might then work as a hover craft, and use the grass collector as a paddle wheel to propel the thing, then drive it across and up the beach in herm straight to the pub, would make light work of that dam hill in Sark!

Dam I'm clever

luke you should be able to get a 90's 200/225/250 engine for 1500, might be worth trying to up the budget to get a newer more relliable engine...

You can have a bid on my Ring 18 with Mercury 200 Black Max.

Credit crunch and too many demands on my time and money mean that I'm never going to get around to finishing it, so it's going on Ebay later.
