My new baby

Looked in on the way home from the West this morning to catch up on the installation. There she was WOW what a beauty on the back of the rib 150 horses all glossy and sinister black Mercury livery but more importantly God does it look the part!!
Final bits and bobs pick up Saturday up the road on the water Sunday and yahooooooo. Further reports will follow.
