Finally little **** Serra calls to confirm he's "continent" ------which I would strongly dispute------pencilled in a positive / maybe lunch which knowing the midget may or may not happen.
Anyway he promised to drop by the shop this morning--------anyone seen the legendary flying pigs lately-------- Get back to you after lunch with the result of the testing AND the probable meeting with the midget!
Aint that the truth--------on the other side of the coin-------most of my lifetime friends are ex boat racers------------------ Excluding the midget of course------he don't count!Quote:

Like i. Said damn near forty years since I had my bum firmly in any kind of race boat. Quite a nice soft ride------300 Mercury racing motor does not sound anything like any motor I heard before-----gentle excuse me burp compared to the full blown belly belch of any straight or V 6 two stroke. Ok, so im just a touch biased, so what ?

Stuart florida-----this morning.
Perfect weather for you today. What class of boat is it and how about a couple of more pictures?

Turned out he meant his car! A blasted Kia Genesis !!! Typical little sh-t trick.
We all went to the "Twisted Tuna" for lunch----------Bert forgot his wallet, but not to worry -------I'll get him next time
Well, I managed to squeeze everything in--------tested a P1 boat with the new Mercury on its bum.
Even got a lunch in with the midget ! He promised me again a fishing trip-------, his lips were moving---------
whilst we were actually eating lunch-------a 50' Hatteras pulled onto the dock and the skipper started to skin a 10 lb yellowfin, quickly followed by a 12 lb tuna----------"you ever caught one of those Bert" I said. His eyes were glazed as he told me "yes, of course I have" --------------"must have been a long time ago Bert" ------------he gave me a very funny sort of look!
I thought P1 used BMP motors?
Apparently the Ermintrudes were coming to the end of their usefulness--------big feck off 300 racing Mercury lumps are the preferred mode of propulsion for this year.Quote:

Yes Rich it was a P1- Craig's job is to make sure all the rigs are equal ------run the same speed and don't have any flaws in the hulls! He's set five of them straight up to now-----about ten more to do!
My last day in florida before heading back home on the night flight to London Gatwick, where my beloved Jilly will be waiting to pick me up.
Workshop beckons, have a head full of ideas on top of the ten or so concepts already on the go
I brought three pieces over for Schubert to finish, but Craig said he would like to finish them off, so I agreed.
John, I promise to send you some models this week. Roger, I haven't forgotten you, been up to my fetlocks in family business!
multi stepped SOB vee bottom....yikes
they have killed more people than F1 in the last 10 years
