Well, it floats and runs. Put it into the Thames today for 1/2 hour to get the trailers swapped over

Couldn't go anywhere as it was run up using a 12 litre emergency tank connected to the fuel shutoff.

A MASSIVE thanks to Doggypaddle for helping-cheers!

Rollercoaster 7 or 8. It's one that was previously under a Ballistic 7.8 at JBT.

I don't think anyone at the marina had ever heard a motor that big running. It sounds GLORIOUS

Fitting the rear jockeys. The straw is set into the channel round the edge of the deck plate to give any water that does get in a way out. It'll be trimmed so it's not visible when it's dry

Sods law said that the tree behind the boat was going to have a 'wet dog shake' and cover the wet sika round the seat with little black bits of vegetation. It'll wipe off with a bit of xylene when it's dry.
What looks like dirt on the deck is actually tiny spills of epoxy sealer that 'crept' when sealing the old screw holes for the jockey seats.


Note. Don't use B&Q parcel tape as masking tape.We lost 2 hours cleaning the tape off-it seems to react with Sikaflex 291i and turns to mush. The pic is taken after we realised...

Its getting there.

I'm stuck now as it took 3.5 of the 4 tubes of Sika 291 I had to fit the rear jockeys. Force 4 tomorrow in Brizzle for more.

No,it's a warehouse only.

It's actually quicker to get to Brizzle. Nailsworth involves crap roads and traffic.

All the jockeys in.

While we were working, the farmer's wife came over and gave us our very own lifeboatman that she'd knitted many years earlier.

Cant' quite think which ribnobber he looks like...
