Transom out, ready for refit:

New mudguards dummy fitted...

New Fulton 600kg winch and winch post installed:

Progress as of two weekend ago:

• Wheels refitted



• Coupling finished



• Test fitting to car

Shiny new wheels

She's got wheels... well... mock fit-up of the wheels at least:

Couple of new toys and options for powering Capricious. Pair of 1961 Mercury 700 Short Shafts:

Hull almost finished sanding:

This is the most current design idea (paint that is). I think it's almost there!

And more sanding...

Top deck almost done. Another 4 hours will see it done on top of the 8 hours I've put in so far.

Next is:

• Flip the hull
• Install new dash and deck bracing

Sanding and more sanding!

Few paint ideas:

Started dismantling the motor. Lower unit (gearbox) first and have hit a wall:

FINALLY have found the motor.

However, it will be an even more challenging job than the boat and trailer together I suspect. Missing parts, ceased, etc = big challenge:
