Firewood
Over the weekend a friend of mine launched his Everingham Ski Boat, called Fire Wood, about 40 years old, that he has just finished restoring for the second time. Now, there may be some grumpy old curmudgeons here who scoff at motor boats, but you can't complain that she's not wood, and the finish is immmmmmaculate!
Just look at that foredeck!
Had to share the pics...

OK OK I'll agree if I had to have a motor boat I could imagine that I wouldn't be embarrassed to bring that one out of the shed

I saw a movie once with one of that type in it. Almost divorced SWMBO to get one. Lovely boat.

Nah mate And to think all you see is what I write when Im resting from writting!!
Im not published like young Daddles but mate I write on average around 50 - 100000+ words a day... now Im off work and hobbling around Im back to writing my stories and books which I doubt will ever see the top of an publishers desk but which I cant seem to stop writting... sorta therapy for the mind I think
oooh the numbers are averaged but generally I write a book every two or three days... except one... thats now into its 4th book bit of an epic thats getting a tad carried away as each book runs to around 200,000+ words... but the bloody buggars Ive created just wont stop!!Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

Love that one. The only problem I see is that it is a tad too small
Have a look at a twin of my old "Everest" I had when I was 18....a long time ago.
