One is supposed to be Guinness but I couldnt paint the logo that small (1/16 scale).
My wife said I should have kept the mary jane...... after I sold it! Ah well.
I still have the yacht though, it needs the brass polished now but its still impressive. On its maiden voyage, I was becalmed right in front of a 2 storey cabin cruiser that was coming straight at me with no signs of slowing down! A wisp of wind came at the last moment and I was gently drifted out of its path, whew!
I built my viper mini speedboat after that (based loosely on a lesro javelin side view) , initially powered by a seagull engine, bought as a non runner from a neighbour, within the hour I had it running again, the neighbour wasnt impressed! Lol.
The Viper was later powered by a 1985 evinrude 9.9, which I rebuilt from 2 very dead engines, one of which I am sure had been used as an anchor. I didnt realise that it had a thermostat till I cleaned some of the 'seacrust' out of it. The other engine had been half ripped off its transom clamp and seized rock solid. The thermostat was submerged for 2 days in a jar of malt vinegar left after the pickled onions were eaten. It came out looking like new. Amazing. Anyway, 3 months of cleaning and painting later, I had to buy £30 worth of spares to get the outboard running. It never missed a beat in all the time I ran it.
