It was a nervous day but great to finally get her on the water. Here is a bit of footage from the small trip that we managed from Lechlade Marina to the pub for lunch and back again.
There were a few issues which was to be expected and part of the reason for the day. Mainly that she was only running on two cylinders and probably always has done since I rebuilt the engine. As I knew no different I didn't know until we swapped two leads and all came to life, it all about learning!
There was also an issue with the gearbox slipping and not selecting drive under load properly. Other than that nothing major so I will be correcting those few issues over the next few weeks and will then get her back on the water. So watch this space and hopefully I will have some more footage of her when we do some testing at speed for you soon!

I've been a boat company tooler for 25 years and I build wooden kyacks on my own time and I can say that you did a incredible job 😀 that boat is so beautiful, you should be so proud 👍✌from 🇺🇸

@slackjaw703 3 года назад

Such a beauty. She’s almost screaming for ya to yank out the 4 cylinder and slap in an old Ford flat head V8. That said, I know she’s a cruiser, so she’s got plenty of power. She’s a piece of floating art. You did an amazing job!

@DanLeeBoatbuilding 3 года назад

I was looking for a Flathead early on but the cost to find a good one or make a good one in the UK was beyond me. Maybe an upgrade another day!

Were the carb floats out of adjustment?? Looks and sounds like it was loading up at low rpms, even on 2 cylinders. How was the cooling system? You did beautiful work!!!!!

@DanLeeBoatbuilding 3 года назад

Yes the carb was out of adjustment, plus there was some sort of bypass solenoid on there which I didn't have connected (as I thought it was a sender). I now have it set up better, running much smoother and idling slowly. One step closer to running well at speed. Cooling system seems fine, its just straight raw water cooled.
