  1. Hi Everyone Thank you for your supporting replies to our Marina Quays project. You may know there is a Public Meeting being held by the "Objectors" at the Yarmouth and Caister Golf Club on Thursday the 4th of October, if you would like to give us your support by attending it would be greatly appreciated. Or just turn up to help me get out alive! TIA Terry Everitt EMS
  2. We have been about for a while,we are EMS at Great Yarmouth we are hoping that you will all take advantage of the new site next year. just to clear it up we are hoping for 12 residential moorings and the rest of the site will be for hire craft and private boats less 8 moorings for the houses
  3. We are the new owners of marina quays,and the river front is going to be the first part of the project including moorings for Holliday boats and residential alike. the dredging has already been done along the full length of the site,next is a big clean up new parking electric hook up,and renovating the old control building. hoping to be open for business in the new year.

    Big Oops!

    yes boards of and now laying at the yacht station before they caved the roof in.had to flood it as well thankfully not to far motor is ok
  5. i will take one if they are that cheap where is the yard I'm in GY
  6. Sounds a bit home made to me,the only way you can use a car gear box in a boat is to change the gears about in the box as reverse is the lowest ratio in the box your prop will turn so slow it will have no effect.we have tried this in the past on a 4108 with a commercial van box,it was great in third for drive and used fourth gear in place of reverse,but be aware this is not a DIY job.you can buy a second hand velvet drive for a hundred pounds now so it's not worth all the effort
  7. wow that is massive consumption,my Deutz main engine on the coaster only drinks 21gallon an hour and that's a 17000cc,hope you have deep pockets,that said I would love a ride on her when its angry I bet she gets along
  8. Yes he is completely naked!
  9. all joking aside.i take it you are the quo vadis we see on the Bure "private boat nice sounding motor"they do sound nice what are they?as for fuel 20ltrs an hour at 1400 rpm yes it's thirsty
  10. not another set of bollards for my workshop wall,are they nice?
  11. yes massive,not the same as you have witch is for speed.our prop setup 28x16x4 running through a reverse transfer coupled to a Perkins 6354.4 over bored and mani cooled with a two stage holset water cooled turbocharger high compression 48 bolt head over size injectors and a hi flow injection pump.tosh has no speed 8/9 knots max but brake away power yes,I'm the last person you want a tug of war with
  12. close enough,Titan is flatish on the bottom and was originally a shallow water tug designed to ground.Tosh is a navy tug and is built for brake away power,ideal for pulling of the mud with massive horse power
  13. no 37years experience he just lost concentration.Be warned those bends have a shelf about ten feet out it drops drastically,my tug draws 1.3M and I'm floating at low water,note the crane holding the back corner up
  14. thanks I may pop up and take a look over the weekend,short shaft is what I'm after,or a Chinese leg
  15. in my home town they have a race called the Maldon mud race,just thinking maybe an idea for Breydon,goggle it it's great fun for all http://www.maldonmudrace.com/
  16. wrong type of mud for a joy ride over there,but it's off
  17. Hi all I'm looking for an old short shaft 25/30hp motor for my little work boat.it can smoke and look bad,it doesn't need controls just a hand throttle,don't care what make it is just cheep as they get wrecked going aground and picking up rope,even if it runs like crap sell it to me and I will finish it of
  18. lol, got the wife to thank for that, amazed I managed to get pic on in first place, turning round was not an option
  19. my uncle "maffets" was horrified at how far it is on apparently this has happened only a hand full of times in forty years.i had the boss of Alfa craft with me this morning and the hirers just laughed at him when he climbed on the boat and said "looks like we f&@?ked this guys boat up",he replied I am the owner and you have just lost you deposit as he stood in beer cans and food all over the floor.apparently they behaved impeccably on the show round.i think it's just bad luck for him at the moment
  20. funny enough last night I called them and told them to throw the mud weight over board for safety,when I arrived this morning it had gone rope and all,I suspect he threw the lot over last night in his incoherent state
