Thanks Floater, lovely old footage from the days before H&S and when you could dump your old caravan in the canal

Have to concur with Rapier re boats and engines for sale, I just recently acquired a lovely Pearly Miss and very nice white 61 Mercury 350 (40hp) from club members, neither of which I would have found, had I not been a CMBA member.
- Many thanks to those who helped my quest.

Pearly Miss sorted - nice one Paul - many thanks

Thanks Alacrity - great memories, love the sidecar boat! - I did 4 or 5 Earls Court shows as a lad with JG Meakes, - back in the late sixties, I remember one year (1970) we had the entire Fjord range 17-40ft in the pool (we backed onto the Guinness Stand) Happy Days :drink: and bilges full of those ...

For what its worth, Solitaire CVX16 on a similar hull came with a 19" prop and over revved - dont forget the 90hp engine is mapped differently to the 115, 140 150 and develops peak torque at a lower rpm - above the recommended max rpm the power curve takes a downward turn - Solitaire hit the sweet s...

Still miffed that I passed my lovely Pearly Miss onto an ex Member who quickly sold it on for a large profit. So I am now looking for one (or similar) for river use. Not too bashed around and on a trailer would be nice. Must take short shaft motors. Wood, alloy or grp, 12 -14ft.

Have been offered first viewing on this Fairey Faun Tuesday 21st. - probably not a project for me but any members interested, please pm me - more in Members section - use the summer code

Some have found a home - I have decided to keep a couple of small ones - but others still available, I have edited the list so please check and let me know if you are interested and can collect during the next couple of weeks
Thanks

Pm sent probably best I send you a list of what's in the crates

Many thanks Alacrity I just sold her to a local guy who knows the engines' history and the work I did on the boat.
