It's not a problem at all TJ, so don't worry about it... I just wanted to explain how it's done. As I said, any problems just give me a yell.

Hey thought I'd pop back in here again...a thousand things have been on my plate lately.

What we're going to do is flip her over and take a look at the insides. We're going to move the front seat forwards (I think, it's been awhile since I've seen the inside) to brin you clsoer to the wheel and make more room for the engine. Then after that we will see if she needs the inside scraped or if we will just paint over her (which I think is better )

Then we'll flip her over again, patch the new screw holes and fibreglass the entire bottom of the hull, install a new brass strip because we removed the old one, try and break off the remaining handle and replace them and then give her outside a paint. After this we shall launch her again with her new name...Grebe on a nice sign on the sides.

Then we'll float around for a bit pull her out again and begin work on making her a paddler- engine, wheels, whistle, steering wheel kindly given to me by my sister for xmas and the chain drive rudder. Then a nice small canopy and maybe a little cabin piece at the front.

She will then be relaunched again as the PV Grebe!

Hopefully that will be the task done...sounds easy eh!

Well here's the latest news!

We flipped the Grebe just the other dy to examine and begin cleaning the inside and apart from the giant huntsman spider and various other nasty eight legged beasties we worked out that we would need to strip the inside paint...which annoys me greatly because it's going to be fiddly.

We also decided it will be possible to move the seat forward.

Next time I flip her I will take photos for you all and then I'll get back to hosing and scrubbing her down...lots of dirt!
