It's a big old

Just Googled the Yanmar, that does sound like some lump
The boat looks the business too. Dive club had Pac for a while, very seaworthy, even with a Mermaid.

went down t the boat today to get some heaters into the engine bay and found I'm sat ashore next to a monster of a rib! will try and get some pics next time but triple Volvos i think judging by the drives and lots of Ullman seats!
great work! bet you can't wait to be finished!

Thanks guys.... and yes, can't wait to get her out on the water.

That said, haven't been able to get that much done over the past fortnight as we have two jobs on the go....one on the Severn, the other in Cardigan Bay.....

Did manage to do some phaffing about today and dropped some of the (shiney shiney) consoles on for a dry fit..... After all the deliberation am glad we went with the black..... Have taken a couple of pics of the main console and engine box in place..... The upholstery is underway and we've gone for grey to match the sponsons and so as not to be too hot on bare legs on hot days...Not that thats been a problem today ...Brrrr.

Our new Moorings are being laid early April, so have made a week free to work on the Pac /to get it finished..... Its also due to do a weeks filming work end of May, so pressures on a bit!

Not quite sure why, but have also lined up another project for next winter in the shape of Chewy's Atlantic, which we'll be collecting next month and which eventually will be based down in Milford next year for a monitoring project we have down there /which is stepping up a gear...

SO... time to get the Pac wired up (last job)....have removed the rear seat pods and floor to run cables today, and a big box of electrical goodies has just arrived.... But thought I'd post up a couple of pics showing the progress we've made.... upholstery /jockey seat backs etc are missing in the pics, as are the rear seat pods and control panel (just been epoxy 2 pac'd).... Pretty pleased with how shes looking.... Will post up some better shots when she is wired up /done...

If she was 4ft longer, I'd be jealous!
