I just noticed the view count on this topic and could not help but be impressed -

... that's one helluva achievement that every one on this forum should be proud of. I for one have been both inspired and instructed by this thread. Since I joined this forum I made it a point to read every single post in "What did you do....." - from p1 to about p152 or so when I'd finished - it took me a good few weeks to get through it all. From Boatin and his batteries thru HG and his rebuild (RIP Hayden), to Shaggys POGO build to the latest on broken rudders and spongey Sika, I have enjoyed every post. I'm always glad to see it appear at the top when I open up SB - another interesting story to read!!
A huge thankyou to everyone who has contributed.
