Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

[atoll]

[QUOTE=boatman61;1341980]Nice one Alex...
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3]Have a good run home mate...


hopefully we have sorted out the transmission vibration problem today,.... not reccomended welding in the mud at low tide!

the jack lift mounting bracket is now fully welded and solid as the transom,will test later tonight when the wet stuff comes back!

cheers alex

thanks!
we now have 4 crew in total for the trip,the weather is perfect,with easterly winds sunday night till wednesday,so even if we have to sail everything is with us for the trip,leaving sunday just before high water,should be past the dover straights by morning,with a fair tide most of the way!

will post photos of the trip
