I'm happy to report "Beattie" had her first outing this weekend and all went without a hitch.

We motored five miles up river, moored up at a pub for a bite to eat then five miles back.

Did a little GPS speed check and we maxed out at 5.2mph. Now I know she's reliable we'll have a few more outings then over Winter it will be full teardown and restoration time.

Its nice to see the old motors being used again, well done.
Looking at the picture, it may not run for long with the fuel cap breather done up.

:lol:

Eyes of a hawk, Keith. It actually vibrated closed en route which I noticed as I took this photo. Made sure I gave it a good twist to the stop open after that.

Thanks, we got a few people ask us about the motor, including one young fella who said he used to have a seagull.

Nice one CeeBee.

Looks and sounds like a good day was had. Any videos ?

...and I notice The word "pub" occurs in many of your communications...reoccurring theme me thinks.

Cheers
