A burn out together would be great fun. Where could I launch it?
Good to hear from you.

You cant compress water ,so must be air or steam pushing it out ,unless ther is a cooling pump still running ??

Yup understand that, but it's not steam as the water was not hot enough, in fact it was cold.
We will see how it goes.

this is my water system on the 25 the block drains through the pee hole so there will be a certain amount of pressure through a small hole

1st Day Out
So today, I launched the Bandit for the 1st time.
And I can confirm it does at least float, which is a start.

So my beloved Bandit has been sold and has gone off to start it's new life in Scotland.
It was a great boat that I loved, but I'm now after something bigger.
If you know of anything around 6.5 metres, along the same lines as Bandit in terms of build and design, I'd be very interested to hear from you.
Many thanks
Ribtecer

Hi James, great to hear from you.
I'm starting to wonder if I've done the right thing. My wife and daughter want something bigger, so I advertised it and "bang" it went.
I'll find something, but meanwhile however I have no boat and that one was a beauty.
What have you bought?
Toby.
