Finally Launched Today

Sounds like there might be a market for laying up a few more sets off your moulds, should think people with the same boat would pay well for a set.

Shouldn't think so, everyones got at least one in their back garden

Nice job and thanks for sharing

Hi Diesel Falcon,

No problem, not hyjacking at all, adding a few funnies makes it all more interesting. If you think about the weather or the economy, everything seems very dull.

Re the hull extension, I do have some past experience with hull design and development, so I decided to do this modification to my hull, but as is often the sensible route, I kept quiet until the water test. I am realy amazed with the result, far better than I expected, and a real bonus is that the customary and always very annoying steering " wonder " with this type of sterndrive boat has now been eliminated.

I think Wombat's tanks will be great for use with a drying out mooring, I'm sure David and Perry will be first in the que to buy from Wombat.

Sounds like a good idea Paul great to use for drying out.

Tow it to your required mooring let it sit on the bottom' at a convenient depth open the doors 'drive' in, shut the doors bingo a non drying drying mooring

Hi Perry,

I did actually mean the two " green " hull extensions from Wombat, make sure you mount them with the wheels forward, and they will help you get through the shallows !!
