That boat is going to be spectacular when it's finished Nick.

Cheers,

Time for an update, Well we have been fortunate with the weather recently so I have managed to get a fair bit done. The topsides are done and I'm currently doing the rear end and sides, The clocks are back in and the chrome deck fittings too.

The screen is the original one with the scratches polished out, The bumper or rubbing strake that runs around the outer edge still has to be fitted as well, Here's a pic for you Alex, On the bonny bonny banks of Loch Lomond with Nick junior at the wheel.

I think this was the day we first had it in the water back in 2004, It was taken by the launching ramp at Balloch, It is not stalled but it is pointing at the jetty so we could not open it up until we got away from the jetty and the 6mph speed limit that is in this area.

Just as Handsome as his Dad I see....... ;) The wood on your Boat is quite nice as you have now finished it Nick. That lighter wood on the front deck is quite stunning with the darker border surrounding it. That treatment makes it much more colorful than our antique Yank Mahogany Boats.
Very Nice indeed, but the Mrs. and I are not great swimmers. We will enjoy your boat on the internet, but keep our antique feet in our old cars. We are 'land lubbers' through and through. :D kwakers
