Collecting our Fletcher speedboat

Today we rescued our Fletcher speed boat from years of being hidden in the undergrowth of a garden in Suffolk. The boat comes with 2 engines and lots of ancillary parts and has been covered over in a fitted cover the entire time.

We will look to get the engine’s overhauled and sympathetically restore the boat so we can get it on the water hopefully later this year.

This weekend we’ll carry out a full and thorough valet which will hopefully transform the look of the boat.

First thing’s first, we’ve unclogged the plug to release the lovely bilge water.
