Nice one Bob! From the front I thought it was an upright Piano, or perhaps a floating glass house?

Are you getting any shed time yourself, perhaps busy making Christmas gifts for the grandchildren!

Best regards, Chris.

Yep - it's different. Gladly I managed a bit of shed time over the past month - one Chrissy present for the oldest grand daughter and almost finished a new QS bed for home from that celery top I had stored under the Chris Craft. The recent arrival of another grand daughter has the grandchildren vs boat count at the same - 5 of each. I have a feeling that the boats will be over taken next year, unless of course a small skiff surfaces down your way.

PS I think I need a bigger boat! 4 Adults 2 kids and 3 dogs and yes we did pack the sink as well! Hey Phil, the $25 ski worked a treat :P thanks to the fat pigeon for spotting it for me.

Ahoy all, my story (with their added twist to it) is in an article called "Float my boat" in the current trailer Boat mag issue 278 on page 90. I am surprised they went with it considering their demographic is fishing and wake boats!

At my request thay have plugged our club web site at the end of the story.

And thanks to those who have replied and given much needed advice to my issues re the gear box, dog clutch etc, cheers boys.

Chris

Hey Chris - that's looking superb. Must be very satisfying to see how well it is coming along. Keep at it.
