For the Dowty fans (and others of course), I have started a pictorial strip down and rebuild of my Dowty on my new web site found at www.oldspeedboats.co.uk please view and see what you think. It is in its test stage, but will improve. BN

To All,
i have picton spirit 3000,
it has two D183 mercruiser 3.0ltr 5 cylinder turbo diesel engines,
one of which has decided to drop a valve when the valve spring disintegrated,
the problem is that i cant find anyone who can supply the parts,
Headgasket,valves,springs, collects ect:
is there any one out there who can help me source the parts as i haven't got much hair left now
kind regards,
Nigel.

can't see it catching on.... unless that jet drive turns into a proper jet engine? 

Spoil sport, I thought it was a brilliant idea

How about this idea. When I was restoring this Mitcham jet boat, I placed it on my build buggy and I think it has the potential for an brilliant amphibious sports vehicle, do you?

Sorry, my engine bay is very tight! I think I'm going to have to stick to the Castoldi ones I have as there would be no room for a swan neck there! Thank you anyway, they look new!  Mark

Better pics

Download this, it is free unless you pay a one off fee of around $12: https://www.fotosizer.com/

It is a really brilliant photo downsizer with little to no quality loss. Most of my 80kb picts are reduced via this from 4meg or more. Does bulk downloads and watermarks.
