I traded my wheels for a bigger set.
 

Just kidding.

My next door neighbour is a boat builder, and today was the offical launching of this new boat he just finished.

Make sure you check out the first picture first, to see what I mean about the wheels.

Props to you Hymee ;)

I wonder if you can get those twin screws under the bonnet ;)

Nice boat...

Nice picture too. Hymster you have talent.

Aww, shucks.

I didn't even think of the twin screw thing.

And guess what - the compressor in the shed for the compressed air lines - is a TWIN SCREW!

Hymee, you have more pictures of the bows? I can't make out what they look like in the shots you have posted. I think it's the flat black the throws it off.

Basically same as the last one, but a bigger boat.
