Re: Bar crusher v Surtees v Extreme
Like most boat manufactures, there are examples of failings. I know there are varying hull thicknesses as a minimum, depending on classification ( ie commercial vessel etc) But I'd put my house on it that there isn't a Stabi craft built, which is under industry standards, depended on boat class. The...

Re: Dodgy fuel
Methanol, is used for one reason, POWER and POWER alone. It is less dense than normal fuel,from memory 114 octane rating, requires less air ratio and makes more power per stroke, That's the only reason its used for racing. Different tuning of course. My old British racer, was on methanol, running ca...

Re: Dodgy fuel
I use quicksilver or yamalube in the 130Hp carby 2 stroke yamaha. If you buy in bulk it is cheap. If you want to try other brands make sure it is the correct specification for your engine, most carby 2 strokes will be TC-W3 but the direct injection 2 strokes (Etecs) require higher grades. PS some 2...

Re: Getting on with boat re-build
Things are going slowly along. difficult finding spare time at the minute. Finished off bait well lids at the back, fitted new bollards and am fitting a new rod holder in the gunnel specifically for the down rigger. Having difficulty re routing the fuel filler to the gunnel, was in the motor well be...

Re: obsession
You hit the nail, right on the head Bayrock. There simplicity is what appeals the most and the fact, that even though I have 2 or 3 senator 6/0's with tibernion frames and strengthened up inside that i regularly use along side my internationals, the originals still hold line class records to this da...

Re: obsession
Yeah, you can still get parts for them, but it's way better to keep them original, value wise, even if there's a bit of patina ! The earlier reels, weren't stamped with part no's, from the first reels produced in 32 to about 1940, that's where the real money is. There are guys in the U.S who special...

Re: obsession
After I strip and clean them up they will be ornaments for me. They were Penns, first reel designed for nylon, probably around the early to mid 40's, they were as tough as old nails and a lot of die hards still fish with them, they actually punch way above their size. Well, they may fish with the st...
