   My original Veron Marlin is not in too bad an overall condition, but I will give her a thorough going-over and health check before her re-launch.

   Yours doesn't appear to be in need of very much attention Bob. It looks very smart 😎

   Here is my original Veron Marlin that is pictured on my workbench awaiting restoration.

   Thanks Rob.
   I am hoping that once my life settles down a little bit, I will have time to start pottering with some of my 'project' boats, and then get one at the very least on the water.
   At present though, there's simply too much going on for me to have any real free time for things like hobbies.
   One day.
   
   The motor and mount weren't even attached to the hull, so have been removed. I feel that the motor is quite a bit too large as well, ideal maybe for one of my larger boats, 48" Huntsman, or 49 1/2" Perkasa maybe, but something a little smaller and slightly higher revving, without needing too many cells would suffice with this boat I'm sure.

   It's nice to see an example of the boat that I'm building at the moment.
   This one is in need of just a little bit of TLC.
   
   The water cooled motor mount looks to be a bit of overkill!
   
   The last picture is a test build of the VMW version by Colin Smith (son of the original designer Phil Smith) I think?
   Rob.
