Although obviously its the wrong season for that in the UK, can't beat a good bit of winter restoration.
I've spent all afternoon with my arms under the big block 3.0 litre chevy (120 hp) that powers my 17ft Fletcher, trying to remove a dead starter motor.
She's a classic 1978 British Speedboat with a whole raft of chrome, vacuum powered gauges that would put a Rapide to shame
Getting the upholstery re-done in the next few months (if anyone knows anywhere to get it done cheap!?) in a nice cream with red piping, and fitting plenty of uprated parts before the summer.
Last year she was getting a good 35kts + and there aren't many in the marina that'll beat her off the mark.
Only got one picture of her on the PC at the moment:
She's a pretty rare classic British speedboat as she has the inboard engine, which not many of this size do.
Come on all, share your nautical beauties!
