Engine has arrived!

Yes, I had a text from Howard at Victory Narrowboats to advise us that the engine has finally arrived (Friday). It should be a Barras Shire 45hp..

Problem now, is I can get a crane to drop  the new boat into the water only 30 minutes from our marina for a great price. I fired the request to the boat builders pushing for completion and delivery this Monday 30th March. Fingers and everything else crossed. If we don't make this date, me thinks the boat will not be put into the water until well after Easter! Possibly even May!

Waiting their reply.......
