      Wow that looks awesome. So realistic! Right down the the slight list when she's in a turn. You must be so - so pleased with what you have built. A superb build and to think you've never built one before - amazing. Well done Garry or should I say BZ.

        Utterly Fantastic Noah Garry!!! Your hard work has paid off to the max, Sir!!! She looks great on the water and the 4th picture could pass for the real McCoy. I bet the cold ones were flowing after the trials were over too!!!...

          Thank you for the BZ Neil, and yes I am pretty pleased so far. I'm chuffed that the working stabilisers did their job admirably.

          Cheers Allen, much obliged, tea and cake were the order of the day for me.

              Haha Chris, I seriously doubt that you will learn anything from me, I'm too much of a newbie.
              I did post some pics of the innards previously, in thread 228 on page 12, was there anything specific you were looking for?
