Hi

Post by Ethelred » Sat Dec 10, 2016 1:13 pm

I bought a frolic 18 with a lune valley water tube and a Bever compound. All been worked hard so currently engine and boiler are in the garage. Engine cleaned, adjusted and now running nicely on air. Boiler retubed and next job is to fabricate a new firebox/boiler casing. Then strip all the varnish etc etc. renew the plumbing... might get it on the canal next year...maybe...

extremely unready
if I post pictures of my boat then you'll expect to see progress; there might not be any if it's cold in the garage...

That's the beauty of a still photo, the progress is only shown with the next fresh photo.

Progress is at your own pace, we just like to see how you're doing. ;)
