Next up to be finished (again) is my Fredrick Cederberg designed Gremlin. This thing is nearly as old as I am, it was the first boat I bought when I got back in to boating after my breif jaunt living in London.

Previously it had a CMB .90 evo 2000 in it, which had got some nice porting and polishing work done to it. That motor is now powering my mate's Aeromarine Sprint Cat, I had planned to put a CMB 91 RS in this, however that motor ended up in another project.

I decided it was time to renovate the Gremmy when I discovered a very large split in it's enormous tin fuel tank. This has now been soldered back up and holds fuel rather than emptying it in the bottom of the boat. A couple of weeks back I bought my new Prestwich Sigma - build here - which came with a nearly new CMB 1.00 in it. This would be the perfect powerplant for the Gremlin, so it's now bolted in there. The boat also needed a few bits tidying up, like the broken forward hatch

It's now ready to terrorise the lake again

Nice one yet again Andy, what glow plugs are you using ?

Thanks mate, this one has a standard head button in it, currently I'm using O'Donnell 77's but I prefer the ODO0003's. Unfortunately rather difficult to come by at the moment.

Most of my other engines (all my 91's) have turbo buttons, in those I'm using OS RP8's
