    And I can attest to the fact it is one warm boat. Kind of heat that shrinks yer face and gives you a face lift!;)

    He's stuck on the ferry, engine won't start :lol:

    Either that or he's so excited about driving it he's forgotten to update.

    I think the engine was coked up because it just improved as i went along! Is it normal to cruise on the straights at 70mph with 3/4 throttle?
    Apart from stopping to fill oil only twice in 6 hours i think that leak is minimal,still needs sorting though!

    I'm very pleased that all went well, Its had a good run, just what she needed!!
    It probably went better for having fresh fuel in it.
    You are probably overfilling the oil, it needs to drain down for a few minutes after you switch off,
    preferably till its cold.
