Good inventive work Craig, not to mention a boat load of patience to match your aching back!

A bit more work on the new prop today. Backface machined, more shaping to go.

A lazy Saturday morning run after wetting out all night. Leaving it on the hoist over 5 weeks dried it out so much it wouldn't float at all yestrday. It gets pretty hot up in the apex of the shed.

Yes, boats in hot sheds - they end up a bucket of mildew if you keep them wet or overdone toast if you don't, lol

Feeling very lucky today, especially after Crankshaft Rebuilders closing down this year. I've scored a billet crank for the grey in the skiff after they did some searching whilst clearing out the factory. I now just have to control myself with the current standard bottom end till I get the next block done. Happy days.
