Do have to get this one going as my FP is going to hard pressed to move all four of us in the new Watertender on t...

Running a Seagull backwards has been made redundant by efficient boat handling.

I bought the set from the guys in Clyde (thats the one over here, not Scotland) and have used most of them on my flock.
