That looks great Bruce, and with that backdrop too. Geoff.

You blokes are making me feel bad as I have not done much yet and I have been off work. All hands to the pump in the next couple of weeks to get her ready

Well done Bruce she looks lovely

Well the pics of your boat shamed me into getting my bow rider ready. Her indoors had thought she was going to have a day in the garden. But she said she wanted to polish and clean a boat instead :)

Got the engine cowl to come up nice

Bruce gave me the Kick up the bum I needed Now I have almost got the second one ready. All polished cleaned and ready for Antifoul tomorrow

Her indoors had had her hair done so she reckoned she would not sand the antifoul :)

Very nice anti foul Dennis....

When you run out of blue I recommend red - it goes better with the decals on the 19 I think.

Having said that, I will be using black on my green boat as green AF is hard to come by and £££££

Which Fletcher are you bringing to the rally?

I have not actually got this years on in that pic. It is now done yesterday. I made a strut this year so I could drop the bunks on the trailer and do under them. When I did the area under the bunks that I did not do last year it was wall to wall Barnacles. Pics of it done

I am bringing the 17 foot Bow Rider to the Rally, More speed, easier on the long tow and a lot of fun, Lets hope for the weather

Have you been out in your new boat yet ?

Mine is underway too. Just the seats and a final wipe around left. I really really hate cleaning and polishing. But have to say the end result is quite satisfying.ImageImage
