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.

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 ;)
