Get a kit and voila you can tackle all sorts of underwater tasks

Louis introduced me to Mr Friendly at 2.40

I have done a bit with wood in my life but nothing like this. The thing that turns my dial, grown men fixing stuff with no airs and graces just skills banked from a life time of experiences No evidence of high levels of life killing stress and little regard for the health and safety nazis that have run amok in my world. You leave a legacy doing this kinda stuff not a pile of loot.

It’s just a helpful option if required. Best have somebody who knows what they are talking about actually look at the engine.

Been watching this as it reminds me of the reason why I own a woody. I have a aversion to accumulating wealth.

With the engine running how much blow by or venting is there from the rocker cover if the oil filler cap is removed. Not the listing I had in mind but not a bad option if you have to swap out your old donk. https://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/engines-motors/diesel/auction-1566696925.htm?rsqid=2b813eb511824908bda2562eb41098e4

Bit of a long shot but up until a couple of days ago there was a complete motor listed on trade me. Otherwise they are a tractor motor and try Norwoods

Been in touch with both Shaw Diesels here and Gardner in England. No issues with supply of parts or servicing from their view.

"if it can be done in a ratepayer acceptable cost" What would be acceptable. Appears like this Cup could end up costing the rate/taxpayer in excess of $250m. ETNZ probably thought that once they had secured and returned with the Poisoned Chalice and completed their countrywide tiki tour that Auckland City ratepayers would drop their financial panties at Dalton and Co's feet and build the Taj Mahal of Cup infrastructure along with accepting to pay a staggering hosting fee. Ahh, happy days they thought. "This is a major land development project, with tight timeframes, paid for by publ

Is that a Farr design. Jack Cropp springs to mind. Could be wrong and would not be the first time.

If I was to pass over to the dark side this looks a cracker. 17000 hrs just run in for a Gardiner 8. Just got to figure out where to keep her. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1543795041

Yup, modest yachts this size are a great buy. This one fits on a 10m marina which is not yet out of this world rental cost wise just yet. Fits the whole family or easy single hander, I think Chris D,s dad Roy has one. Balanced not tender and well sorted by the looks of things. What are the options here in Euro yogurt pots that size not many if any thank god.

As a old log of wood owner it is sad to see the Stewart looking like that. However I noticed recently that the Lady Gay launch has gone off for birthday or so I hope and she was a bit ruff too. I have seen some amazing restorations and the boating is much the better for the brave and hearty souls that undertake these marine resurrections. One that springs to mind is the recent relaunch of Cotton BlossomV / Revery renamed Revocet. There are some pics on Waitemata Woodys and she looks stunning.

"behave and there is no issue" Hear that quite a lot around my house.

Pretty much everything is registered one way or another. Gives new immigrants jobs along with revenue grabbing for the Council issuing parking infringements on The Lords day.

Try the company you have as a household insurer. Love the Westhaven mandatory $5 million third party requirement when I questioned the ludicrous amount the reply was that's our insurers advice. Christ my 10m old woody would have to wipe out a few marina fingers to qualify that claim.

Nice arse and I would buy it just for the Wilkies. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1560647143.htm A minter from DT and she sails beautifully. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1549350187.htm

"A Maratimo 60 planing past 100 metres away is far worse" Try a 84ft stinkpot twat thundering full tit down the harbour a couple of weekends ago. Spilt my organic muesli all over the cockpit.

Yup would be kinda cool but not at any price. Best spectator view like many sports however is from a decent size high quality tv. Really don’t give a rats arse wether it’s here or in Italy. Not very patriotic to local industry etc I know but this half arsed AC base fiasco has only just begun. Something about the Auckland physche for doing things by halves. Banged on endlessly to reclaim the whole of Victoria Park as a park when the undergrounding was done, typical Auckland half arsed bean countered result with a billion tons of vehicle contaminates continuing to rain down on the park user

They do here in Ponsonby for some strange reason. Actually the worst crap is cat crap. Had to wash down a chippie mate who had crawled under a house and had a good coating of pussy poo, not good at all.

Apart from blocking the waterfront view from their offices here is another reason why VHH have burst into life on the AC bases. One Market Square.

If this is right I mutter 'fucken Panuku' to myself. That report that came out yesterday saying NZ is the least corrupt country in the world seems to have excluded that department. NZ has the worst kind of corruption the type that cannot be readily identified and exposed hence the award for the least corrupted. "hear no evil see no evil" Plenty smells about the whole process but no one will ever get fingered.

Happens all the time. Must be absolutely gutting for Doc rangers and volunteers. How much fun does the furry 4 legged member of the family have waiting all day or nite to get rowed ashore for a dump. I personally think that the pet owners are never going to change their behaviour and that is evidenced by the fact that none that I see on a regular basis around the gulf can either read or are prepared to at least pick up the crap as they are so willing to do on land.

True, ring fencing out VHH offices waterfront views with a bunch of Total Span tin sheds has Mark and Adrian throwing out to the public arena the most bizarre plan.Loved Dalton’s response.
