Also, will 5hp be enough for the first few trips pottering on the canal (I'm thinking way too far in advance I know
)Thanks again

Re: Another Broom Saturn
OK, next question, should a hole be patched from the inside or outside?

Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

The West system site mentioned earlier by Broom Broom has very good user guides there is one on fibreglass boat restoration here:- http://www.westsystem.com/ss/use-guides/ along with others that will be useful to you in your quest.
Re: Another Broom Saturn

Re: Another Broom Saturn
Thanks for the advice guys.
I received my 2m sq fibreglass patch/repair kit today. Am I right in thinking:
Remove old/broken fibreglass
Clean area with acetone
Paint resin around the edges
Layer CSM with resin on each layer.
Leave to cure
Put surface tissue on top with more resin.
Thanks in advance

Re: Another Broom Saturn 'FiftySix'
Sorry for the lack of updates. I started some fibreglass work yesterday, I'll get some photos up if it ever stops raining 
I'll be doing more work over the next week, then I am on holiday for 2 weeks, then I have five weeks free
