First time I see a wing on a boat. Didn't know it can be beneficial to adjust trim.

Hi John,
We are hoping to get in the water before the end of the year but we like boating in america so much that is slowing us down, we are in key west at the moment however before we came out i got the exhausts fitted permanently and most of the raw water pipework is in. As soon as i get back i should be making lots of progress as the weather should be better, as i am working outside it can be a bit of a hinderance.

Trial fitted the first of Cheetah's lightweight carbon fibre engine covers as well as being nice to look at they are also very functional as they are made in one piece with no holes for lifting eyes any water splashes can't enter the injector pockets, they are 75% lighter than the originals.

Hi All,
Made some billet aluminium parts today to fit the carbon engine covers, also started fabrication of the battery tray. Lightweight wiring Harness is progressing nicely as is the plug for the front wing mounting brackets.
