| Repairing a high quality model marine engine |

The whole thing seems very shabby, by the way the pipe work on the model is a disgrace, shows a lack of respect for all the work done by Bogs on the engine. I must say I also feel very let down by the magazine Ill think twice before I purchase the next magazine. I have just finished the Borderer a slightly bigger version of the Marcher and found the refit very interesting however having gone through the hard graft of making the engine (by the way I am not in the same league as Bogs he's my hero!) I think credit where it is due. |

In consideration of Bogs, I took a look at e-bay and the boat for saile, and found it ironic that the seller didn't get a single bid on the boat, so now he has another dillema, whether to re-list it after all the expose on the engine and the work it's had, and who did it. I don't know you, Bogs, but as an engine builder/rebuilder for old Harleys, I'd slap the dog sh** out of anyone taking credit for my engine work, when they were selling a bike. I've got a reputation I worked long and hard to earn, and I'm right proud of the work I do, and would undo it without a qualm, with a .45 round through the engine cases if I got a ration of sh** from such a person. The quality of the work of all those who are posting on this forum is determined exactly by the standard of honor and "right", each individual has, and what they have experienced to become who they are. If you can't do it, don't steal it and claim it as your own, have the testicular fortitude to find what you can do, and get good at it, and be a man. In my book, anything less is still a boy, and needing a good paddling. An odd thought, could a "paddleducks engine" be added to in order to be able to provide such a paddling, automated? There's an "antique store" twenty miles from here that has a pedal operated paddling machine, with a bicycle seat and handlebars for the paddler, and a bar to bend of for the paddlee. :lol: mad jack |
