Can't wait for you to get this done. My project is on hold cause the wonderful instructions really don't explain stuff very well. Waiting for your walkthrough to be done. Can't wait to see it past page 9

Hi Jan,

It's rained so much over here in the last two days, and the weather man say we've got two more days of it.... I may just need to open the front door to water test her!

Martin.

Can you believe it? Martin nearly did it! And she looks great

chingdevil · « **Reply #57 on:** March 08, 2007, 09:47:04 pm »

That is a superb looking Puffer Martin, Well Done!!
Blimey Jan you will not want to get it wet.

Sorry about the crap photos, but I was crying so much because I can't believe it finally ready for water! ::)

You're right Martin not up to your usual standard or quantity.

Are we going to get photos of its maiden sin**~ ~ sorry, voyage

Didn't get to the water today, electronics stop play.
Bradders found an interference problem with involved taking the motor out and attaching a capacitor suppressor kit.
All OK now.

Just left with a few bit of tinkering here and there....

No wonder the build took so long - that hammer is no way big enough

Jan. Do you have a late delivery penalty clause in the contract.

Nice model Martin ( and Bradders ) looks as though it has just been built. ::)

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #65 on:** March 09, 2007, 11:31:04 pm »

Show room finish as ordered.

Hehehe... he will now fall into an empty hole, begging me to let him build the Sealight for me because he has to much time now

So whats the next big build Martin

Cargo · « **Reply #68 on:** March 15, 2007, 10:48:13 pm »

At last shes got her bum wet...

Roger in France · « **Reply #69 on:** March 16, 2007, 06:59:00 am »

Bit of a list there. Is that why the photo shows Martin's truss to hand?

Roger in France

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #70 on:** March 16, 2007, 07:27:38 pm »

Yes, quite a bit of a list .......

It a bit tricky ballasting her as we will have to remove all the ballasting before sending her to Germany to reduce the shipping costs.
Currently she is ballested down with 4 'gell cells' and she still wasn't fully down to her water line!

Anyone give us a few thoughts about ballasting this / flat bottom displacement vessels?

( The "truss" is my good mate Doug's launching craddle, which turned out to be essencial as is the first picture, the Puffer is actually floating 2 inches above the lakes landing stage! Thanks again Doug. )

Martin.

Happy to be of service (bill is in the post

) good job the water wasn't any deeper. (Must read the tide tables before Sunday's session.

I trust (no pun intended) Jan will be pleased with his ballastless (sp???) Puffer. A real nice build I thought.

I hope Bradders didn't get his suit too wet.

Cheers

Doug

Very nice Martin, but has anyone noticed how far up Bradders boots the water is. She's sitting on the bottom. Wont sink like that.

Richard

dougal99 · « **Reply #74 on:** March 16, 2007, 10:50:46 pm »

Dicky D

I told you the tide was in. (2" further out from the boots it's 3ft deep)

Doug

PS (Bradders really was wearing a suit)
