Heya mate! Perkins advised the engine will put out 121HP at 1800rpm

That should be all ya need
Yep that'll be plenty for me.
I only want to go around 6-8 knots which it will do quite easily.
Whats your hp calculation for optimum speed, around 80hp? If so you have plenty of reserve for a head sea and the bar. Do you have any bar problems in your neck of the woods?
Hey mate,
Yeah about 80hp. I think it was about 83hp to be precise.
No major bar crossings where I am. There is a opening at Fremantle harbour and that will be my main access point but its not a major issue. Slight swells
...it's the middle of the night..
sounds to me like what i have seen of the Bellingham
Puget sound area of Washington. I've been told it can get nasty up there but all i ever see when i visit is calm placid seas....I'll bet I'm gonna get jumped on for that comment
Fremantle Harbour, gotta look that up, I did, looks like a pea souper today on the webcams View 8: Victoria Quay
Hey mate.

Keep up the great work. Sooner than later you will be enjoying the fruits of your labor... Rebuilding a boat such as you are doing is not for the faint of heart, but, rather for the heart of boating!
. God help me when the motor starts up for the first time Hahahaha.
That might bring the out in ya!
He best be there to help your mate too!!
Hendo...the Americanos might not get this one, but that tranny looks so damn good, it needs to go straight to the poolroom....
You 'splain it if they ask....
Hahaha ah how's the serenity. So much serenity!
Dale dug a hole, he started the patio! Lmao
tell him he's dreamin!
Oh I could go on all night quoting that movie but that's not the "vibe" of this forum lol.
Hahaha fantastic movie! I love it.
Always looking for good movies while putting miles on the treadmill. Couldn't believe that Netflix had it in their list. At least I know who Anthony Simcoe is - He was in another great series from down under.
them blokes down under aint got time to watch movies they're out killing cane toads and chasin roo's!....geez, you don't think people down under spend time sitting on the couch with a brew watchin movies or glued to a computer screen do you? Geez.....did you know that the worlds most productive beehive as far as honey production goes is down there? Over 1,300 pounds in one season. In the USA at $9.00 a pound retail thats what, $11,700 dollars from one hive!! Not bad
Haha well I've strapped a portable DVD player to the back of my roo's head so when I'm out hopping to the boat or shops I can watch movies on the way.

"Boating" in Minnesota and Wisconsin this time of year. Fish freezer is outside, Beer Cooler inside. NFL done for the year, one can only stare down a 10 inch hole for so long. Just Google "Ice Shanty Town", and you get the picture.
Love watching progress on your vessel. I can see this is going to be more than just some mere boat. Great inspiration for us do-it yourself types.

Shanty is another word for shack. If you ever watch the movie "Grumpy Old Men", you get a pretty good look at what the lakes around here look like in the winter. The part I always laugh at is when Jack Lemon's character leaves a dead fish in Walter Matthau's old Travelall. Around here that fish would stay frozen, and not start smelling until April.
The picture in my previous post - The vehicle and ice shack are on the lake on 24-36 inches of ice - Think of Ice Road Truckers, but not quite that extreme.
December to April the boats are under wraps (or in the boathouse). My garage/workshop is heated, and to cool the beverages, I just toss them in the snowbank outside the door. I get my exercise in the basement on a treadmill - watching good movies. I'll check out The Castle this weekend.
This picture would be our July activity (not always in sweaters).
