Re: Ratman's resto on HORBA website

Great Site!! My compliments to those involved!



I noticed the bulkheads are round in the larry Smith Scarab
Great idea for strenth.
Notice the amount of extra support found in the bildge area.


Lets see if Phil can break them.

I am off to Destin and then to Key West with a bunch of t-shirts and the model of "The Cigarette".....so, that leaves the mystery of the red 38 Bertram to you guys to figure out....I'll be checking in from the road to see how you are progressing.

Nige you order for t-shirts is all set, someone will get back to you with shipping to Spain...thak you for supporting the site with your order.
