Long time to hear from you. :thumbs:
Making a guesstimate as not familiar with Avon S3.4.

You were right with your description, that is indeed a very tired hull. :thumbs:

2-strokes, air, fuel, spark. The last part is a built disingenuous, with HT leads, butterfly valve on air box, etc.

I was just going on the hull v at this stage beerbelly which is quite shallow. Wouldn’t be out of the question for the transom to be replaced, given there’s no hull ID. I wish makers would bury...

The MK5 is a big old bus, with aluminium floorboards. Minus engine, fuel or payload you’re still looking at 250kg (550lbs) alone so you’re not hauling this up beaches like a conventional SIB. This is...

As well as lubing the rollers, check the penny washers are stainless 316, including the split pins. Any signs of rust and discolouration, then swap them out. New keel rollers will undoubtedly help.
