Secure, Covered Storage - Sussex

Chum of mine is running down his business which operates from a good sized, secure warehouse with a concrete floor. He is now looking to use it as a storage facility for classic cars/boats/gliders etc. Costs are from around £60:00 pcm for classic cars - so boats of our type and size are likely to be...

Gina's new Merc - Update...

Leg and gearbox all painted now and ready to receive the newly rebuilt powerhead :woo: Stator and other assorted 'bits' arrived from the US and I didn't get clobbered by the dreaded import duties - so a little ray of sunshine there - and man, could we use some of that at the moment!

The only experience I've had with rollers in the past was on larger boats and I never found it as easy to get my boat on the trailer - that could just be me though. I also had issues with rollers jamming and...
