Saving Old Seagulls

okay so I like waving the flag so to do that you need a flag pole

All work supervised of course

if you think we are going to fly the red ensign down the river , think again Jack . Poncho is keeping a close eye on the new Chilli dog racing colours

LOL...too cute....

I'm thinking maybe he doesn't want to get left behind...??

Bloody Spoiled Rotten"

chilli dog is spoilt some times he fell through the floor on a job site and landed on the concrete 10 feet below the other day a little shaken but okay . I'll come right eventually .
Back to the boat , the "transom" has never been deep enough to hold the seagull clamp bracket to my satisfaction . So I ripped down some purple heart and Kauri and made it a bit deeper . You can clearly see the addition . now the clamp fits perfect .
9 Sleeps to go .

So this is the blood pressure kit in the seagull surgery?

Not sure what you mean Oyster ? I'm just a builders labourer and simple to boot

Last weekend for preparations for the great race , so I wetndried the bottom to 1200 grit , smooth as ......... now don't give me the sharks skin theory . I'm going with this

and I have a back up motor branded of course

While I won't show you my race props , I will post a couple of pics of the Bronze SD prop and the Bronze bow tie to show the progress I've been making . The sd prop isn't going as well as I would like , seems to wash more water to the side than I would hope for , but Rome wasn't built in a day. Love the fact that bronze will form a razor edge and you really do have to be care full when working on them not to cut yourself !

What motors are you using for the race Chilli.

Close of the bow tie , both props are fitted to AC's the SD is on the steampunked motor and the bow tie on a standard AC in very nice order .

I'm using a stock Silver Century with an Amal 416 carb or these if that doesn't work out
