Hello Marine Engine thanks for the add to this great forum.
My grandfather has not long retired from working but due to a huge amount of new time on his hands, he found himself getting really bored having nothing to do apart from sitting around. Then about 3 weeks ago he decided to start his own project repairing an old boat back to its glory days which I think is awesome for him. I need to apologize for my lack of terminology now. Right now he only has the main wooden boat, no steering, no engine, just the boat and he is in the process of cleaning and patching it up. So far every weekend since he brought the boat he is out in his garage working on it for hours on end and I am wanting to get him something that would help him out.
In terms of the gift, unfortunately, I can't afford an engine, that is the first thing I would have wanted to get him but I have a budget of around £500 Is there anything I can get him that would help him out with his new project? I plan on putting in plenty of elbow grease and doing as much research as he needs whenever he comes across a problem but I would love to add something to it.
All ideas welcome! looking forward to some replies.
Thanks
This is an example image of what he wants as a finished project but I will get some actual picture of his project when I next visit.
