Here is some new kit for the boat. I have purchased a set of "charter" standard flares for this boat as seen in the attached image.
This includes
Watertight container
Four x red parachutes
Six red handheld flares
Two smoke canisters

All valid until 2016

These are purchased from our friends at Fetch tradeing item data - VIKING-LIFE

Will drop to Biffs soon

Cool, sooner than I thought.

Biff, how is engine currently held on? Same as when me and Alex put it on? If yes, that's not up to a road journey, possibly needs to come off? Can it hang on your hoist or something?
