Well, Team RB2 have finally been able to get together again after our respective issues and make progress on the skiff.
First job was to make the framework for the seat, so to see if our bums would fit in it, we had to do a test drive. Dave was the one making the brooommm brooommm noises. Still looks like looking along the deck of an aircraft carrier.
Next we strung her up from the rafters of the shed so Dave could give the hull one last coat of paint. Dave reckons this is how it will look at full noise, hull right out of the water.
The engine build has come to a bit of a halt. The camshaft I ordered from Summit about a month ago hasn't turned up. Seems it's been "lost" somewhere in Fedex's Memphis depot. Fedex says go back to Summit, Summit says go back to Ebay, Ebay says claim in on Paypal. Still waiting on a resolution or, more importantly, a camshaft.
Hence, RB2 will not be making an appearance at Narrandera, unless we can bolt one of Dave's old Mercs onto the transom.
