Two things prevented us getting there: One of the ignition switches came from the factory with two wires transposed meaning the port engine would not even turn on. Secondly and the reason we didn't make in the end was that the power steering pumps are spewing red stuff all over the bilges which requires some more serious help!
Video and more stuff on the build thread.

Yeah, I've fallen out of love with boating a bit. All a bit too much like hard work.
Doing a bit of flying now.

Boating in general really.
Been doing it too long. Seen too many changes, especially the cost.
