Considering how things are going with work, and what we are paying for delivery, there's a real business case to be made for a small landing craft...
As one or two people may be aware, I experienced a few challenges building Serenity. She's far from done but she's working and making some money....
Tipped up the engine, made a puddle in the splashwell. You can see the high "water" mark on the air cleaner. @baeckmo suggested a reason. I'm...
