Another VR... Just a newer one..

And shes getting a 12mm keel instead of the 8mm one it has now..

Getting a few other mods done on her while shes at it... New bisalloy intake grill, double bilge with auto switch..
Can finally have a leak free boat as the crack in the jetblock the engine and unit had to come out to fix will be gone
putting new computer and wiring in,...

You gotta be carful up dodgy wee creeks when things are in flood....

That does not sound cheap baldbob.. but im bure it will be worth it... hope your not like me and get excited and put them in the water before they are finished. Im way too impatitent.

Hey ya know its an extremly fun hobbie... and those are things that always come at a cost
Its just a pity that the places that are FUN to boat = repair bills lol
I know im not the first person to hit the particular girder I hit.. Something should be done about that...
Looking forward to having her finished again, shes gonna be like a whole new boat

Who's doing the work on it? And which river was the culprit?

We've got a boating trip to coast in a few weekends time.
