Picture from last Sunday, second trip out. Very nice weather for October. Just ordered a Fladen 845 so hope to extend the season with a month. Little rough on idle rpms, might be that would need richer mix , but perfect on anything above 1400.

Here's the latest from the Wolvo searider factory.
Thanks for the screen, Nuge.
Anyone got any Avon badges for the back of the tubes?

Was the frame a rail on 40ft gin palace in a former life? If so, perhaps chopping it down to 36ft may improve the aesthetics.

Don't think aesthetics and searider are words usually associated with each other. Oxymoron I believe.
Anyway, I'll have you know that frame was built for towing broken down O****ys.

Third trip out. The H2O goggles worked perfectly. Testing the embedded video function. Can't see any YouTube icon but trying manual way.

Here are some of 'BBQ' taken just before Christmas out with 'Razorbill'. She used to belong to Glen, a former forum member....bought and collected her from Hythe, and she now belongs to a friend of mine.....who, as the grin shows, is loving SR4 ownership.
The Yammie 40 is a cracking engine....Its got an aftermarket console, and a pair of much needed footstraps are due to be fitted soon
....sort of wish I'd kept her myself!
