Brian, can you see through me? Problem is I have too many toys and not that much time or money to finish them, better get out there and do something. Ross

lol. lack of money is because ya always on holidays :P

ive done abit of stripping tonite and its looking good. its got some new ribs laid next to some damaged ones up near the front but ill see if im going to do anything with those. probably try and finish stripping it out tommrow arvo then i'll decide whether im going to leave the fibre glass on or take it off. im almost sure that the 6 outta me black boat will be going into the skiff so it should be pretty fast and make some nice noise with some zoomies. at the moment im motivated because i realy need to get my race boat built and do a trailer but i realy want to get the skiff and the old clinker going aswell. to much to do before the sun comes back.

anyway we will have to catch up soon

yes ya not wrong. im looking at a few factorys next week. one of my mates is chasing work space aswell so we will go halfs and get something big. make life easier. i dont want to spend the cash at home because once i have my builders registration thru later in the year we are more then likely going to put 3 units in the back yard. anyway for the next couple of weeks i'll make do, to busy with work anyway to spend time on boats but i'll get there
