Small steps in the new engine saga.

Paul Redshaw came to measure our engine 'ole prior to making our engine mountings. 

We've established that we need to shorten the propshaft by four inches and that we'll need to get a new, slightly larger, lefthand propellor with more pitch which will suit the lower-revving Sabb.

If this takes more than a few weeks, we'll probably miss the chance to take Freyja out for a test cruise due to the state of the river and E.A. closures.

We'll also have to work out a neat solution for our new gearchange, fit an improved speedwheel, and replace some of our gauges.

It's a slow slog, but we're looking forward to the day when we finally boof, boof, boof our way out onto the river.
