Good to see someone's doing something and posting it. I'm guilty, i've been playing with Ronda's engine with the hope of having it back together before Carol and I head up to Cape York, not going to happen i'm afraid! We'll be gone for 8 weeks

There's nothing like a deadline to get motivated. After missing out last year due to the floods, I've booked for the nationals in Nov 2023 and am aiming to get the Chris Craft finished & on the water. So much to be done, but I do have 5 months so fingers & toes crossed.

That's the way Bob. Just don't go chopping anymore bits on your hand with the saw! Yell out if you need hand; pardon the pun there lol.

Thanks Craig. Just as soon as I get the interior timbers varnished & back in the boat I'll be calling on you to oversee the engine tear down. And when you need a hand yell out, too.

Back onto Nirvana with some good progress. The interior timber work has been varnished, buffed & fitted. Old upholstery temporarily installed for reference pics - now to cut new back rest boards. Engine is out of storage and on the engine stand ready for strip down & assessment.
