    Must be a challenge in it's self, picking it up and putting it on the table!
    you must have an army of volunteers!

finished

Well at last,at least now the MONSTER MERSEY is finished apart from radio gear,it has been a bit of a challenge but worth it in the end,the last picture is the coxswain(ray chapman) not happy with seagull on his boat lol,when I have radio gear etc I will put it on the water and take photos,but in the meanwhile better find the wife and take her to lunch,hope you enjoyed the refurbishment,now to look at another lifeboat for a winter project

Put it on display,before I finish off the refurbishment work,still lots of fiddly things to do,but should be ready for the water at nov/dec,good comments all round from the Coxswain/crew & the mayor of Skegness, so now back to the drawing board to get her finished
