Rob, Sorry but I don't remember how long it has been since the engine has been rebuild but did the PO get a Warranty of any kind? If there is no Warranty, I think in may be time to start taking her apart. I would get a box ziplock bags, a marker and take lots of pics. Nothing worse then...

Hello Rob, Quick question if you don't mind. What did you cut the oil filter open with? Jim

I'm going to go out on a limb here. At first I was with most here... valve, rocker arm, etc. But then I read the time line. "June 21- The boat is loaded up and we’re ready to start the family vacation. Engines have been running in the harbor and are warmed up. We go a few hundred yards to...

Conall, Another great read while taking lunch. Your fuel numbers look pretty darn good for a boat that size. And a fairly reasonable vacation minus the time and expensive of the build. Well Worth It, Jim

Great Fun!:thumb:

HopCar, Anchors I will not talk about. I will disagree on all the gun stuff. But the clamps, funny you should bring that up. Just the other day I was looking at my box of clamps thinking..... I need bigger clamps, more of a selection and just plain don't have enough. So if we just give you...

Does getting ready to build a boat count? Here is a pic of the inside of the structure we put up to start the project. Sorry about being sideways.

Conall, I think I speak for everyone....where are the pics? Your killing us here. By the way we have snow on the ground and a low of 9 last night. Funny we have to keep our windows close too. Best Regards, Jim

Conall, Very nice to hear from you! I have been wondering how things were going. Sure am glad to see you and the family are enjoying the boat. Jealous as heck, Jim

Welcome North Fjord "Any good books or other resources to recommend?" Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual, by Nigel Calder is one book that comes to mind. Good Luck, Vik
