    TWO!

    @DogCavalry Have you seen this!

    APB, nicely done!
    How long have you been waiting for those to arrive?
    2 - 3 year waiting list around here for those, new.

    I hate you but I'll try and forgive you... <kidding> well about the hating part.

    7:00 - 7:08 is telling... interesting
    Then 7:14 - 7:18 is good
    The "Burp" factor.
    Cool to see the full compression-burp of the tunnel going aground!

    I lost track of this thread... Good to be back.

    Thanks guys!

    That's interesting to hear you have such a long waiting list on Mercury, you would think down here in SA, we'd have the longest wait. I paid the deposit last week and received them this week. But they do come in waves cus we only get a shipment every few months to supply the whole of SA.

    Blood sweat and tears, and maybe a few new grey hairs with sleepless nights wondering if the product is going to release nicely but she is out! 20220520_093818000_iOS.jpg 20220520_093801000_iOS.jpg

    Excellent going APB, thank you for the photo update.
    Was this just an initial 'trial run', or is the deck moulding firmly in place now?
    Did you use bedding putty or similar between the underside of the deck and the tops of the frames in the hulls?

    Hi Bajan,

    yes this was a quick trial run to see how well the deck fits in. We have taken it out again to finish filling with foam and in some places there will be bottles. Then we will seal off the foam and then bed the deck on top. The bottles are going wherever there are fittings on the deck in case if ever they were to leak that water will run into the bilge.
