Just won a 102, for this years race
Just won my new race engine (fingers crossed looks good).
Sorry bidder 2 If you are on the forum.
At least this one is a runner so he says.
Anyone want to guess the type ID.
I think it might be a THCL.
Nothing that an angle grinder won't put right.
Thanks

I know three.
Not really a race meet.
Sadly there is no actual Register of us Down Under Gullers or, for that fact, no actual register of "Old Dear Owners" period!
Now how can we rectify that I wonder?
Would be rather Cool to have an annual smoky event on the Swan River with all sorts of things strutting their stuff and annoying recreational boaters and bringing some income to the City Of Perth Council as a result.
Maybe something can be organised thru the Wooden Boat Club Australia?
Yeh, Hang in there for that...Last meet in Perth was kinda flop...........

It is a runner, TCL 914E3 (what year is this?)
Good overall condition runs very well started second pull even with horrible stinking stale fuel.
Will cut it down to standard shaft length, total strip and clean.
What should the water pipe from the block to the exhaust be on a TC?
On my AC it is nickel plated copper.

Flat exhaust 'D' with skeletal clamp will be no match for my new super fast hull design. Now lets see your skiff is about 19.5 foot and must be quite heavy (can you let know the weight, sorry displacement as I will need to enter this into my hull design calculations) New hull model MK3a (design revision is meeting with approval from the inner sanctum, am looking at between 21 and 25 foot length, super sleek Bermuda style.
Water tank trials will be starting shortly with 1/8th scale model. (will post pictures)
TC with the L cut off (that is about 6 inches) is progressing well, all in bits (only picked it up yesterday). New rings fitted, big end bearing adjusted, de-coked, carb fully cleaned. Have spotted various areas that will be gas flowed, not sure if matching cut out in crankcase half to that of transfer port in cylinder will make it run better or worse, has anyone done this?
Am getting cooling water up the drive leg as there is a bearing missing! Whoever did the last service missed that one!
Am sure engine has not done much work main bearing look good and you can still see most of the machining marks in the bore.
Looks like the TC(minus the L) will make it to the Thames Race!

No I will be towing the old boat, new boat will be on the roof rack (of van). Not a problem as it will be so light. might even transport a small boat inside the old boat so we can have a go at the team prize.
Don't think I will bother with a cat though because they always appear to be so slow.
Must go to bed work tomorrow
