Biffer, you would have fitted right in at that beach, none of them seemed able to fit into a mankini.

OK, some engineering there that might suit your inboard black stuff burner, but not much that I can see that would suit a sensible outboard
So what/where is it?

There's an island in Sydney harbour called cockatoo. Island they used to make ships. They have all the machines just left there. Everything. Joinery. Lathes for Shafts and Propellers. Metal rollers. Presses The lot. Great place

Don't stress Biffer, it's okay to post photos upside down from The Land Down Under, they will view them the right way up by the time they get to the UK.

If there was ever a place designed by nature for us ribnobbers it would be Sydney. Truly a place for us boaters

I'm back. It's half past stupid o'clock in the morning and I'm wide awake. I left china at 12.30pm on Sunday . Traveled for 13 hours and got here at 6 pm same day just to be told the clocks went forward!!!! Just spent 15 mins shovelling junk mail in the bin, the grass has grown a lot and the gardener ain't been. No ones paid any of my bills and I've not had a proper cuppa cos I ain't got any milk.
Now all that's out of the way I'll start looking at the mountain of work I have here. Ian M is first. Seat backs. They've been here so long. JK after that. Starting one new floor and total refit on a ballistic and watch this space for a new custom cabin rib build. Aaaargggh I need a holiday
