Just curious, I’ve noticed on here that a lot of Americans seem to be reluctant to buy from overseas - I don’t mean from China, I mean from Europeans etc. over here it’s not at all uncommon to buy second hand boats and parts from abroad, so what’s the thought behind it?

Internal pics. The head and top of piston have some detonation pitting but the liner looks great

Getting kicked in the nuts is absolutely nothing compared to having them detached with a laser and the anaesthetic wearing off several times during the process, I can assure you that…

What’s everyone’s choice for a circuit mono these days? I’ve got a tuned 35 zen to put in a hull and considering what to get. I’ve already got five Seaducers so considering something from another manufacturer. Love the look of the Assault 48, also like the ML boat but Mike won’t ship to the UK

Would that be a 20-50?

A fellow club member has an enormous hydro with a RCMK K30 side exhaust. Boat is an unknown picklefork hydro at 54” We’ve tried a few different props on it but all mine are for monos, so what ABC hydro prop would people recommend trying?

In the UK now we can only by up to 25% fuel from the shops. You can buy your own ingredients to make fuel, but you need an Explosives Precursor License to do so ($40 for three years and involves a ‘I promise not to burn down parliament’ quiz). Thing is we don’t get high enough atmospheric...

The main one being that the 1914 is a good amount faster, the engine is under a lot less load on the ABC prop. I also had good results with a 646/3, which was on my boat for a good period of time
