Re: Bristol 27
Just came across your posting on your boat Looks like it is progressing slowly but steadily. Though I must admit a lot faster than my rebuild has progressed. I own a Bristol 24 that had been worked on poorly by a PO so it is even a larger project. Removed everything from the interior including the b...

Re: Trailering - how crucial is it to use straps?
Very Crucial!! You can never tell what you will find out there. Having just moved my boat about 3000 miles straps are a must! I had two blow outs and a couple of my straps parted. In the end I had to replace all my trailer tires and two straps. Then you have to think about the road conditions and th...
