Re: Albatross Mark 3 - Next project

Welcome to the forum, nice project you have started. There are plenty of Albatross owners in the club so I stand to be corrected, however I believe the boat would have originally been fitted with an SU pump. That said they are hateful things in cars and likely fare even worse in a boat so a modern s...
