You should find a photo of the Mahogany strip 2 piece floor I made for Kingfisher somewere in the album. Takes a bit of work as the inside of the hull is not totally symmetrical but it keeps your socks dry :-) M

When I returned from a cruise to pick up my stored (triple axle) trailer, I found it was in a position where I could not reach it with the Chevvy and it was way too heavy to lift and pull by hand. Yard owner brought out his lawn tractor fitted with a ball hitch and solved the problem. Jus' sayin" M

Hey Dreamers, We just got back from our inaugural cruise in our C-Dory- like "Skinny Winny" Turbo Mercedes, "View". April 14 to June 8th, Whidbey Island to Desert Island ME, and back just missing tornadoes and other bad JuJu. Nearly 10K miles, 500+ gallons of #2 Diesel and an overall milage of...

We are about 10 miles South of the slide on the East side of the Island and, as Barry says we are not directly on the waterfront, but neither are the houses that you see still standing !!! There were 2 roads and a forest of trees in front of them, last week. Since most of the South end of...

I seem to remember Tim Flanagan posting about a modification to the regulator valve for the Magma which reduced it's Napalm -like effect M

Hi B & B From B and now going round the B :-) Having seen pictures of your new mobile palace I just hope we meet up with you someplace in our landcruiser with the other Boatless Brats!! May not be for a while as I am currently in Swissy-Land and when I get back we will be preparing for our big...

Congrats guys. I Know the "admirables" have been talking so C-ya on the road maybe when I get back from doing penance in Swissyland. Everywhere I look see Sprinter vans, 1000's of them so I thnk I know where I wll look for spares for our Skinny Winny View. ciao M
