Hello !A long time ago, I had the opporunity of buying a Max Hemmens plant missing in my collection.
Untill a friend proposed me one butinsidethe boat.
The boat being a Windrmere launch , it doid not take too long for me to make my decision. Although I prefer to build myself, but why not ? Said I !
The seller has been looking for the proper box to pack and finally send me the lot safely.
Photo 1.
I received the parcel some days later , in one piece , perfect packing, and excited as a young boy at his first weeding night , I opened up the box.
I was not impressed with the « Henriette » but all my attention sticked to the plant. LOVELY and in a good shape.
The first thing to do is to test it. Said I ! (Please, note that I often speak to myself , even if this does not avoid arguments ! ;-))
As we can see on the photo, the gas canister was heated with coiled up silicone . I do not like this too much as I prefer to know exactly what is the gas pressure. so I installed one of my gas tank with a gauge mounted on and did a test.
A bit lo,ng to,rise the pressure but after 9 min the gauge needle started to move up.
Sounding good. Just need to clean the jet !
Finnally, happy with the test I took the plant out and I started to work on the hull itself.
Litele by little the boat rebounds.
Regards.
