Welcome. You have found the best forum online.

P.S. No boats on the river?

Thanks  Scunny (the secret Springbok supporter in New Zealand  ;D ),sorry Meriggi,but  I was actually talking about  that I bought the lot as scrap and not that the CB400 are scrap  :P and Seaweb11,no boats only on weekends for  leisure and recreation.

Nice meeting all of you  :)
