Will separate, Nick?

I see Pryce engines in Newcastle/Cardiff did the engine work. These blokes are good!

Gloscter is just over the hill , but divorce may be just around the corner .

Hey guys this is my boat on gumtree I would've liked to finish it but don't have the time at the moment and I'd rather someone giv it a good home than let it rot away so if anyone is interested or would like to know more give me a call or msg as stated in the add the machining work is immaculate on the engine would be a great project for someone who had the time

I am open to offers if anyone is interested ?

After looking at My "Y" block which has to be rebuilt, I could not pass this up! Will go and pick up this weekend.

Will these weather board boats actually float?

Great pick up James. Engine work looks superb and with some good work done on hull you are way in front. welcome to weatherboard world! They all leak, some more than others!
Weatherboard men don't mind wet feet.

He does mean even with your feet near your waist.

Nothing a 1300 gallon per hour pump won't fix?!
I think of my clinker as a mobile Murray River filter system.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I acquired a clinker ski boat a couple of years ago and have been collecting parts to build since. the hull is only good to use as a template with some imagination, and I was going to build from scratch in clinker/epoxy/ply. I have a 272 Y block and have also been collecting some bits for it's rebuild but have not commited to dumping the $'s into it yet and starting. I also want to be able to swap engines between my current bondwood and the clinker.

Pryce engines did the machine work on my ford flathead and I could not be happier with them, so am confident in the work they have done to this engine.

Will probably just get used to the leaky boat thing, but currently when I see an excessive amount of water in the bilge of my bondwood I go searching.

You Serious! Will I really need a bilge pump?
