Thanks for the offer ! but I have an exam tomorrow and the boats and motors aren't ready for public viewing yet , all a bit hush hush in the workshop cant go giving everything away since their is still lots of time before Easter! Its quite remarkable how fast these motors will get things moving! Make sure you beat Chilli this time ay!

No its not an excuse more of a tool, I take my education very seriously cant go into the workshop until its done, taking level 3 physics calculus chemistry engineering and computer science and doing a university computer programing /science paper, its all very relative when working with seagull, just you wait!

A dash across the bay under the bridge and wind up the river , you come around the last bend to the falls and a the turning boat as the top mark . Fantastic !!! Attachments:
