Thanks Graham. Mixed feelings about it. Crazy to keep it if I don't use it but going to miss it. 🙂

Thanks Tony. It'll be my pleasure to enjoy the day on Serenity. 👍😉

Now on Boatsandoutboards as well as Youtube. Thanks Charlie for the video.

Happy Birthday Chris. The BIG 60 eh? 😃 👍 Have a great Birthday Chris. Jim

Did it sell quickly?

Thanks Mike.

Thanks Charlie. MANY reasons why I've decided to sell but mainly just lack of use. Had the computer readout the other day: Only 132 hours on the engine since new. Not had time to do an advert yet and no Idea what to ask for her. No used ones on the market to go by but they're £18,000 list with only a 40 on the back ????????????? Anyone any thoughts?

Happy Birthday Kam. Been very quiet so I guess you're busy on the house again. Take the day off and enjoy your day. 👍😉 Jim

Tiddler for Sale. Details & price etc. to follow. After a LOT of thought, I've decided to sell Tiddler. Just letting club members know before it goes on national boating websites.

Take it steady Charlie.

I DID have it for a while but deleted my account. Face Ache then tells people you've " unliked " them which can cause upset. My view of face ache . . . . . . . Jab it mate! ! ! ! ! 😃

Don't have Face Ache.

I need a buoyancy Jacket for my little doggy if anyone has one they no longer need.

Nice one Chris. 👍

Hi Steve, If it's like this: Charlie's option would be cheapest and easiest: "Is there an option to skim the shaft to fit different seals with slightly smaller ID seals?" Failing that you could get the diameter reduced and "sweat" a sleeve on it and have that turned & ground to size. You could try Robton engineering for a price. https://www.robton.co.uk/ But there's probably plenty of firms over your way. Jim

Wow! Nice one Steve.

Great. Thanks Steve, Sorry I couldn't get to the weigh in. Thanks Jerry for providing the support boat.

Isn't Trev's a Souter? Don't know what he's doing with it though!

I filmed this on my phone whilst steering Tiddler with the other hand but this is Sea Jay in Swanage Bay: Excuse the lumpy film.. 🙂

Happy Birthday Tony. Must be time to retire again ! 😃 A glass of wine perhaps ?????

That's cos the French think they own them maybe ?

Ahhhh I do love a happy ending. 👍

Hi Graham, I don't know much about modern engines but . . . . . . . I bought my Honda 50 new about 10 -11 years ago. It's a superb engine. Very smooth and great on fuel but . . . . . . . . . . . . . some idiot thought a good way of saving money would be to use a plastic impeller housing. I had the leg in water a couple of years ago and started it up for the first time of the year. It didn't suck any water through and destroyed the housing in seconds. It's one thing to melt the impeller (which I've never done) but the whole flipping housing (top & bottom) in seconds is crazy! ! ! and NOT cheap. May be a question to ask when you're buying. Maybe they're all like that now! I suppose that's progress.

Happy Birthday Ben. Looks a good day for it. If you're going fishing you'll have to wait until later for the beer & cake. 👍 Jim

Happy Birthday Matt. Brown rain and breezy today so probably a Beer & Cake day. 👍
