Firefly progress

Post by nicky »

Work is progressing well, the only really hard jobs to do being the new windscreen and the rest of the anti foul. Jobs are getting smaller as they do. The engines have the gearboxes fitted and are part marinised, still lots of bits and pipe work to sort. With Medronha having sold for 52K and Supertramp circa 50K recently I am not too far off my budget and everything,nearly everything, will be brand new. The engines are Cummins 260hp and will be better finished than from factory with all new ancillaries.
A Spearfish will never be as nice as Flying Fish was but has its advantages.

Testing late this season. Fully ready next season. Everything needs to be right and sorted and complete before extended use.
