Not wasting any time on it the, what seating you putting in it?

Just seen your for sale add for the tank, thought it looked bigger!

Single dive console and single jockey seat want lots of open deck space

Same format as this one intact it will be exactly as that clocks GPS etc. but I can add another two behind if I decide I need it or change it to arrow formation
Console plus 2 pods

[nugent]

Been tadge busy hull looking spot on now

[nugent]

Engine gets same treatment

[nugent]

Trailer looked wrong in orange so blasted some silver at it ,
not the best paint job but looks better in it original colour Not keeping it any roads single wheel trailer suits my needs

HMG Ub 25 sparkle silver It looks better than it is, I could not be assed to prep trailer properly as I am getting shot,
Looks hell of a lot better than I'd did in orange tho

[nugent]

For the record all scores filled with Gel, sanded back and then some,

HMG polykote 4+1 primer, like a spray putty if mixed right,and stick to any plastic grp or similar like @#it to a blanket

De nibbed and feckled here and there , followed by 8 ltrs A211 acrythane top coat, wet sanding this in the morning, and mopping it

[nugent]

Turned t back over ,chuff was far fro. Easy,

Tubes removed anther new one for me, good glue is that bostik trust me,
Engine has been transformed
New console and seating . To be glassed in along with a recessed fuel cell,
paint A frame and some meddling it is about done

I do my best lol

Getting greif from her indoors, swears I have bought another engine and trying to keep it quite, even after showing pics she ain't having none of it

[nugent]

Tut some scum bag tried steeling her last night.

Found her half way across my drive this morning, it's chained to wall two wheel clamps and a hitch clamp, have a feeling it was to gain access to the engine, so glad welded the bottom bolts up after fitting it, pretty sure t would be gone by now, looking forward to going through my security cameras hard drive,


Bloody scum we live with, how the feck do you ensure half a built boat for any real value?

[Downhilldai]

Proper 'Trigger's Broom' this one.

[nugent]

Righto got all of my shopping list now,

Collected console , my steering s here , some big huge gaping hole has appeared in my floor, takes some knackers attacking a deck like this, trust me!
Good Osprey build no rot no de lamination absolutely spotless under Neath, 18 yrs old and still as strong as ever,

Sat sun fit out the new seating paint up existing exposed glass areas then its a simple tube job,

Have you had a chance to review your security camera footage yet? Thieving scum.

Build looks the dog's danglies.

nugent - if you've got images worth a chat to the boys in blue - there may not be enough to justify them taking action on moving your boat - but the images may help them put 2+2 together with other boat thefts.

Little hooded guys images ain't worth any thing no car van or any thing passing house or any thing, guess they new cameras where there from previous nosey look,
