I'll have a look at the farming ones- good idea.

I've got my 18' motorboat sitting outside on the road trailer. I only brought it out the workshop 3 months ago and I'm amazed how mucky it is. I dont...

This is super interesting! Thanks for taking the time to do it. The cost of the 60hp is about double what I paid for the 20hp, and I was trying to save...

Long time lurker- you're spot on- I'm happy plodding along. When I was talking to Paul and he was drawing the plans about what I wanted to use the boat...

I dont have a foot- I have about 4 inches, but maybe better than nothing.

The bilge pump sits in a small sump under the step. I have fixed...

I've got a Lewmar Epsilon 10kg to go on my boat. I haven't yet decided how much chain/warp to go for yet.

Here's what the bow fittings look...

Thanks Neil, appreciate it.

Here's a photo if anyone's interested ...

I've painted the topcoat above the waterline and tie coat below. The electrics are almost done, and I need to fit the bilge pump.
