What a day... 30ºC, light wind and a fast boat - what more can one ask?
Tried starting the motor at home, but the battery wasn't having it - one hour charge and maybe four turns of the crank and she's burbling. Maybe six or seven starts on the river this afternoon, all instant. Happy.
Nearly two years since I last used this boat and wow, I missed it!!!
Still more to do, but minor, like nav lights, cushions, interior lights etc, but now it's time to start building some canoes...
Later,
Tim.

Sometimes less is more.
Did I just say that?

Okay:Walkers Run wrote:More pictures please.
First pic was taken last weekend, playing with trim to see what I could get out of her (58.7 km/h = 36.5 mph or 31.7 knots). I just can't quite get her to do 60 km/h, but hey, I'm happy with what I have.
The other 3 pics are from messing about on the water this morning,
Regards,
Tim.
