Hi upspirate
Your boat is looking great, I forgot to include the steering wheel in my photographs so I have added two which you may be interested in. As I am building a 'Gentlemans Boat' I thought that the steering wheel should look 'the part'. A Classic Wood Rimed Wheel encrusted with around 500 Swarovski Stones.

I have just bought an engine and gearbox. The engine is a Ford Essex V6 and the gearbox is a Velvet Drive. They have stood around in a boat yard for the last five years but look in good condition, I plan to have the engine rebuilt should I have the gearbox rebuilt also?

He had bids on the Gearbox upto £181 but the engine only had a bid of £10. I emailed him and explained that I wanted to buy both item and would not take a chance of bidding on one when I might not get the other so we did a deal.

It's a good thing it's overcast a lot there in the UK. If the sun were to glare on those stones, you'd run right smack into James Bond's yacht or something! :wink:
