Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

I understand where its hitting but was going by the amount removed, it's hard to know without seeing the under side shape. I would trust your calcs more as you know your gasket type and have the physical parts to check. (Does look a big lump for 10.5)

By the look of the valve relief you should have enough, have you worked out how much you need off? How much CR are you looking for?

Very nice

Please, no more talk of 'windows' in blocks,

Yes, the old how long has this "rubber" been stored saga. Sure can get you into hot water

That's surprising Bob, how old is it?

Beautiful work Ken,

I think the best thing about a timber boat is the timber, I'm not a fan of painting unless there is a good reason, and if it is protected by boat coat then there is no reason.

Was great to see that the peoples choice award went to a very nice power boat, (Jim in Betty Jean) would like to think everyone just likes the power boat but it also could be 'cause it's a great piece of work.

I'm sure there will be a spot Bob,
