"MEAN MACHINE" ............completed

Wow! I'm sure most of you would recall "MEAN MACHINE" posted back in August last year. I'm lost for words so Jas fills us in .....

"Two years of sweat, we had our big launch day at Somerset Dam QLD on the 10th of May. Put two hours on her in the first day ...ran like a dream.
"MeanMachine" is a 1976 Seacraft TS, Holden 186s. Australian red cedar on the deck all coated in International Perfection Plus duco. Mean Machine is the original name of the boat, left in place to ensure we keep her history.
I was lucky enough to track down Tom Skelly. Tom was the gentlemen that this model was named after, he became the world champion barefoot skier in 1975 and joined us for the day to launch the boat"

A very impressive job you've performed on her J and crew, congratulations...Geez, quite an interesting guest of honor you had there for the re-launch. Thanks for sharing.
