    Hey Nic,

    Thanks for your reply.

    It's a shame your vessel is now laid-up after all the work and effort you put into it.
    Are you keeping it for future use or is there simply no market for selling it?

    How did the pier work out in the end?
    Any pictures?

    BB

    Hey BB,

    It is a bit of a shame but she did the job she was meant to do so not complaining.

    WOW!

    Again Nic, congratulations, and thanks for the pics.

    I trust no one will drive into it in the night, or is it lit?
    Too shallow perhaps.

    Cheers

    Well done all.

    I am ashamed to admit I am more interested in the old dugouts and plank fishing boats than the more modern gear.
