Saving Old Seagulls

Thanks, they still keep me upright but I really wish that someone back then had invented Sunscreen...........I have a few more "Nasties" to be removed early next year. Note the hull while it hurtles through the water. Maybe rowing speed and the fountain is impressive. Hot, Oily, vibration...

I should not have mentioned "Lathe". Seems to have thrown everybody out of the square. It is just a very very minor cut to get an extended TIP aligned. No one makes long reach 18mm any more. KLG ML30 and Champion 7 ComL were the only ones way back but these were for BMB (Two Years alumini...
