You guys are doing well boats look good. It is worth while playing with your propellors I think you will get a little more speed very easily. Set all the pitches on the blade to the same and then add or remove a little bit of pitch to see what happens. Engines will run a lot smoother. Put a wanted a...

We have mussel farms around here the best fishing for the fatest fish is around the edges of these farms to there is a up side

Nicer quality fish when grown in the sea, I say let the fish farm go ahead to feed the masses as it wont happen in my back yard

Flint goes well with Silver Century on the back and two biggish people plus food and 15 litres extra fuel

Check this one out goes real good with a Seagull also rows well and is easy to build

It was kiwis that made their boat go as good as it did, dam traitors hope they live to regret it. Kiwis still won as they are the biggest part of team Oracle.

Or you could come to NZ with your engine we will supply you a boat and do the Waikato River Event. Two days, 84 miles and lots of smiles and best of all lots of friendly contestants.

A very risky thing to try and organise in UK as it seems that plenty will say they will come but only two or three will turn up. I would not try and organise any thing that has the potential to cost you money.

Lanoline is by far the best grease for bolts. Any grease that contains any form of metal is a no no, as creates electrolysis

Excellent result. Perfect for a long journey. Slat type airbed and a bowtop tent and you will be sorted

Getting the propeller right is the key. Get the pitch of each blade the same for a start then the same shape, then you can start tuning the propellor to suit your engine and boat combo.

Ugly boat but goes really well with a seagull on it. A porta boat holds a couple of Waikato river records.

Here are a couple I made when I was teaching Metal work at the local school. Every kid in the class made one, 15 in all. We cast the wheels and chimneys,ali from old pistons and mower bodies, made the boilers from copper drain pipe, the fire box was made from a stainless shower tray. Lots of fun. Ma...

Definitely not BORED
