Delta Back on the Water

Post by Delburt »

Two years after buying her as a project my Delta finally got her feet wet again. All in all a successful trip, couple of teething problems to sort out but managed a good run on Loch Lomond up a few miles and back under her own steam.

I'll post some photos of the 'journey' back to the water but in the meantime there's a link below to a bit of a light hearted video!

Excellent to see another Delta back out on the water. Really nice looking boat. Love the vid.

Hi guys thanks for the replies.

Was a good day yesterday. I'd forgotten how much fun they are, had Delta 20 years ago so been a while.

She's got a 1600 xflow, a few issues still to sort out with the engine but all in all a happy man!.

Excellent Video :hilarious:

I own a BMW Z3 (Bonds Car in Golden Eye) the last 3 digts on my credit card are 007 and my speedboat project was bought from an Ebayer called Goldfinger :woo:

Might have to nick your idea when mines back in the water :pirate:
