Hi Paul, shame about that, you would have loved it. I think the guy was pulling a fast one, boats do have water levels, but you don't have to chack it very often, I certainly don't [}

Yo Ho Ho Paul, I thought marine engines had a once through cooling system - suck it in and blow it out so to speak [. You've got some catching up to do it's been a busy old week on here, check out Dez's posting on lowering I think you'll like it [8D]. Best of all we're all going to Martins in June [8D]

Trouble is if you just lower the front you'll fall out of bed [:0] and your floury breakfast baps will roll of the table when you reach for the butter [:0][:0]. Spend half your holidays looking for campsites with a slope you can park up . I recon the lowered thing would look best on a simple panel van sans bumpers and tiny mirrors with a few extra chrome bits added, Martins red van would stand the treatment [^] but I think he would shoot whoever did it [B)]

Don't knock it Panky, if a woman says there's no rattles or bangs, THERE'S NO RATTLES OR BANGS, OK

Cheers Martin, will check them out in June , by the way do you have the front section of the engine bay, mine has rotted out at the bottom. Been having a look at the Rapier engine on Ebay, mine has a bit of a history of overheating, is there much involved in fitting the Rapier lump to the PB [?]

My spare panel got some rot too[V] Rapier engine will go straight in, but needs more clearance if you use the carbs.
hi panky,filled her up with garden rubbish,sailed to the dump,garden looks a bit tidier went food shopping,on the way there i heard what sounded like a cupboard door slamming,got to the round about and realised it was the rear door i could n't have locked it properly :Igood job i didn't loose any thing [^] "ran" may have been protesting aginst garden rubish [}] ,got home spent the rest of the afternoon hoovering her out, interior cleaning & getting to know where all the rust is [V] managed to go out & back no dents scratches,getting on ok with the overdrive
