Externally finish is with Deks Olye S1 and S2 - 6 coats with varnish over. Spars have also been finished with Deks Olye. All fittings have been repolished or galvanised or chromed. We were lucky enough to acquire a pair of handed Meadows 8.28 engines from Judges yard - who removed the original engine. Both engines were rusted but when cleaned up were found to be sound.
Bearings are in good condition.
Otherwise the engine and gearbox has been completely stripped and reassembled and new oil seals and bearings fitted. Meadows engines were made in Wolverhampton between 1923 and 1962 when they were taken over first by Quinton Hazel and then by Jaguar. They were fitted in Lea Francis and Fraser Nash cars. They were a popular marine engine just before and after the war and are reliable. The engine is a long stroke low compression engine.
