Revenger 23

Twin engines
The replacement engines are now fitted and running. I had the engines delivered from Queensland so did not see them or hear them running before buying. It was a great relief when they both started...

Revenger 23
The locals enjoy fishing, and are happy to sit around all day waiting for a bite.

Revenger 23 - re-engine
Thread revival two years later. After two seasons of use the old Mariner 135 stopped and refused to start again. The boat had originally been built with twin engines so this seemed a good time to go...
