As a few are interested here we go on anew thread of my new project it got a few month ago.
Its a1975 MK2 Fairline Fury. running twin VP AQ130`s and 270 drives. Good performance aswell from this size boat i reckon. I know fuel econmy, well there is no economy at 20mph guzzling 12GPH, but then wher do you fly aroud at them speeds every time you go out. Max speeds are 35mpg at 16GHP.
I bought myself a Shpgun as the tow car due to plans is to have it in different areas each season. Tows it well and with the train weight being 5569kg they boat weighs in at around 2200kg a sin the pics.
Its new resting place untill i hope summer 2022 while we do the work on it.
Bonus as boat came on a SDS 3500 trailer.
I just love the set out of these boats, good size front twin or double berth and small loo. nice size galley with good eating chill out area.
All the with a semi flybridge aswell with seating for two. and along side bathing area.
Cider hatch from galley up to the bridge
Since we have had it we havnt done a great deal. Started to remove the deck fittings to be re chromed and last week had ago at the engines.
Once the starters were removed and one fixed i got the Now P side turning over fine. but the ST side is free anti clockwise but no so free clockwise in the direction these engines run. It lock up solid with no boince back at all.
After some faffing about i think its jamming between the UJ and the G box. So maybe this weekend i will start looking at removing the drive or atleast disconnecting it frmt he engine to see how it goes then.
Very odd how it hand cranks one way but not the other unless T is at the helm and twitching th remote back and forth. This give a slight clockwise smooth movement.
Oh i have found some good news and time money saving on the interior as i did plan or rippig out and a complete refit. But now
