Re: Hi From QLD Australia, SOS 1955/56 little 40

Hi Hugz,
sorry for the late reply, here a a few shots of the Little 40 on my boat.
I have also made up a little trailer with some used child's "Wheel Chair" wheels, I liked them because they are an alloy 20" rim with stainless spokes and quick release wheels, I can put the wheels in the boat quick and easy, making it a bit tricky for someone to acquire the trailer while I'm on the water.
After the cyclone the little boat was just full of rubbish and water, so I also had a nice little cover made up from "Sunbrella" material.
Back to the motor, she runs a treat, water flows very nicely out of the tell tale, I ran her up to 5 knots on the GPS, approx. Approx 1/3 throttle opened, however I had to much outward trim on the outboard and she really dug in at the stern. So I have adjusted the outboard trim, but I have not had her back in the water due to foul weather and poor health.
Soon hopefully!
