Prop Day

Just a thought,

I have a few props sitting in the garage, and if everybody is like me that means there could be a fair selection available.

Guys you get what you put in
Why not have a prop day where we could all meet up and have a "swapie", The idea might work, might not.
These things aint cheap so we could all help each other out.
Borrow from friends as well.

With the above in mind I would say if ya bend it ya fix/buy it.

I have a range of 3 blade ss clevers 22", 24" 26" I'd put up for a outing.

Thoughts, comments, response

Summer though coz If I got to wade in up to my waste I dont wanna pee in me wet suit!!!!

Sounds good to me - got a reasonable collection myself now and some I will probably not use again.

Still looking at a testing day from Lymington in late April / early May.

No and Yes.
I'll take some pictures next time I'm down, so everyone can take the piss out of me.
The plan is to take it as it comes. Not trying to be cryptic, just keeping an open mind about the jobs to do. So far, both engines, drives, & transom plate assemblies are out, and the silent thunder swim platform is off (Hopefully staying off )
