We really can't wait until next season, I even plan to take the boat to France for a similar family holiday to those of old.
Pleasingly, after having the carb serviced, new impeller, oil change, new fuel and points with cleaned sparks the V6 fired straight back to life and sounded great! Fingers crossed for a brief sea trial this weekend, subject to Met in Bosham.
I'll post a photo or 2 if we can get out. The hull is looking good, but many of those scratches are too deep to polish out. We're going to ponder the next course of action over the winter. The lake next year is certainly a headmark....
Will.
