Strange old day ......good to see this come out of its little box ...
Its fine Chris...I'd hate to think the years of technical training, engineering genius and steep learning curves that went into getting it out the box

I really wanted to crack on with your boat tonight mate but Biff wouldn't let me
I've been inspecting all Biffer's work on your boat and it's faultless as always
We all helped unload your new engine today and she's a beauty
Your hull looks amazing and probably a knot or two faster now as she's so smooth
Your trailer looks awesome too, this is going to be one great SR4

Good stuff...Did you get my email with the pics Chris ?

the drill is on charge, the mastic gun is ready, Andrew is back home from his recent trip down to the big smoke, I'm as close to fighting fit as I've been for two years, looks like we're nearly ready, just waiting to see the pics of Tigga

That's all well and good Chris but there's no mention of champagne on ice...
Come on lad, shape up!

Watching Biff fill the old holes in the transom and drill the new ones was awesome. He is with no doubt a true craftsman. His attention to detail and desire to do it all to the highest possible standard is fantastic. I cannot believe how good Tigga is looking.

Watch this space for the control mount, but battery and tank were tight, the clamp is a mk2 version where you can take the threaded bar out to get the battery in better, transom end is done all but Gell to old holes
