I'm hoping to have mine in by mid-end of March... if I get all my jobs completed

Ya, I still have a bit of a list... but that's for next year now!

I got a new engine which set me back a week or two because a) it was heavier than i thought b) I had to install a battery and electrics in the boat and c) it didn't fit so I had to cut away some of the boat!!

Hopefully the mooring will be laid tomorrow...

Then due to the weather, wind and swell.... I prob won't get on the mooring for another few weeks

Haven't been down for a while, I expect there should be a few boats on the moorings... I'll have to wait.

Good stuff.... what engine did you run with eventually?

mariner four stroke 20hp elpt remote
its 52kg and the transom seems to take the weight fine, but there is a bit of flex when its tilted and I rock it back and forth hard...

I'll have to take her out for a few runs and see how the transom holds up but I'm thinking the transom might be stronger than I thought if the designers put strengtheners in the side ballast tanks...

We'll see... or sink
