As it's all quiet on the fishy front thought I'd do an update on Wishin Too Engine etc is out
Boat is now with the trimmers in Hythe, note the masking tape on the hull that's how much she lists still due to trapped water under the forward deck

Sorry had to load pics with tapatalk as I was unable to do here??

[Stuie]

Good to see some positive action Nigel.

[Rob]

Any progress is good progress! Suede or leather interior Nige? Mirrored ceiling?

Glad to see it's happening Nige.............leave the tape on, it's a " GO EVEN FASTER " stripe !!!!!

Glad to hears repairs are progressing Nige.

 

 What is solution chosen to remove the trapped water in foredeck?

 

Hope you won't have to revert to below waterline skin fitting

Now cabin stripped access holes will be made in the floor.the fuel tank is massive (150gal) and the water is trapped in front of that

[Jim]

It'll all come right in the end Nige !

[gaffa]

What material is the tank Nige?

 

Plastic would be nice to have in that situation .

 

it would reduce corrosion and condensation risks

Plastic tank

Hi Nige

 

Good to see things are moving along for you, hope all goes well and the momentum keeps going.

You will soon be ready for the season.

 

Good luck.

All very well having sealed compartments, but I like to have limber holes down to the bilge

 

I had that discussion with offshore after looking at the boats they finished, that seemed to have voids around tanks etc, their answer was that water should never get in so why worry about how it gets out.

 

I still gave Alfresco lots of limber holes, so any water finishes up in the bilge or central lockers.

 

Three main bilges all have their own pumps (hand and elec) so that water can be removed.

 

No doubt your yard are looking at how to do that for you Nige

Hi Nigge did you find out how she went down

mark

[niggle]

Mark ,spring high and about 4 extra feet of flood water.static mooring mooring ropes pulled her over so the water came in the scuppers and fish wells and into engine bay which only has a 100 mm lip and the 4 month old bilge pump stopped working

[niggle]

Popped in yesterday to see progress, looking good on the interior.Electricians were still working on her and all wiring has been replaced and is so neat, better than before😄

2 new vetus wiper motors,all new gauges,switches etc

Probably be just 3 or 4 weeks now can't wait, think I might have trouble actually fishing from her to start with as all I want to do is drive her

Nigel

[Rob]

Great news Nige! Swift progress too. Are you having any extras added in the cable runs for future mods / additions? Alderney awaits?

[niggle]

No additions Rob just want a boat that works 😉

[Rob]

Ah yes, she was pimped already!

[Kingfisher 126]

 

All sounds good Nigel, bet you're getting itchy feet now.

 

Good luck with the rest of the project, she will be as good as new!!

[sparky]

Captain Cod is back in the running !!!!! Good luck Nige .

[great white]

Sounrs good Nigel

Hope to see you out there again really soon

[niggle]

Still not finished,now might be ready end of May.......really getting frustrated hope its worth the wait after paying for the mooring that hasn't been used for at least 5 months by the time I get her back!

Time for another holiday

[Jim]

It'll all come right in the end Nige
