Been sitting dormant for a few months as house build back in full swing. Used long weekend to my advantage and got stuck into the boat. Pulled interior out and hung it up on the gantry at work so I could get to the shit parts of hull to fix. Will spend tomorrow mucking around with it.

Started making a baffled sump yesterday at lunch while I wait for my parts to show up from Aus. Have cut the sump out also have made up a template and will bend some panel steel into shape today at lunch ready to hopefully tig up tomorrow or after work at home.

While you've got the sump in bits run a loop or two of 3/8" refrigeration copper tube and link to the primary water , it works wonders for dragging the excess heat out of the oil, we did this in Grandads old '65  Hamilton J42 and it made a BIG !! difference

@Mistral that's a solid good idea and I'll try sort something out for sure.   

Sump coming along nicely. Made up the gate baffles to stop surging oil slop. Mate of mine makes race sumps for rb engines so copied plans. Will now try and add this cooling system to it somehow. 

All parts have shown up for the rebuild so as soon as i finish sump can put engine together again

Ok so motor now complete. 

After deliberating on my other thread about fibre glass I came up with a plan. 

Took to work and flipped the hull onto a custom trolley and took home ready to start the underside.
