BogMonster Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Subject to one or two things being sorted out (like the current owner getting the boat he wants!) I hope to be the new owner of this by about the middle of next week: Humber Destroyer 5.8m, 115hp Johnson eggwhisk on the back, plus trailer etc Can't wait Land Rover relevance? You can just see my Discovery's butt in the photo (the green one in the background with the Mitsubishi bumper fender-offer on the back) oh and the trailer has Land Rover wheels on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) RIBbed for extra pleasure, Cols, no doubt at all Not as nice as yours Tim, but it'll do for my first, I'm sure it won't be the last OMG I have just realised it is ORANGE therefore I may have to sell it just in case it is copied from something else! no on second thoughts I think I am probably safe, I don't think it has the irritating insect logo on it anywhere Edited March 18, 2006 by BogMonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well if you lot want to have a "mine is bigger than yours" competition get on with it - I'm having this afternoon off to go for a play At the moment it is gloriously sunny with hardly a breath of wind so I hope it stays like that, should be a good afternoon Talking of power to weight ratio, 115hp on something that weighs about half a ton (ok ok a bit more with little me in it... ) is a fairly respectable power to weight ratio compared to most vehicles! Changing the subject slightly, I PMSL last night when I was reading something about operating outboard motors at high altitude Thought to myself ... er ... I think you'll find most work at sea level since that's where the water is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 LAKES !!!! I know, I know ... I just laughed out loud when I read it, in the same way I did when somebody we know said many years ago that he was going to build a concrete boat.... (which is also entirely feasible but the idea seems bizarre when you first think of it!) I had an absolutely brilliant afternoon but I'll tell you what, anybody with a V8 moaning about fuel consumption ... you ain't seen nuthin until you try a 2 stroke outboard, you can see the gauge going down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
