Guys are taking apart the engines sent them to the machine shop. I am sanding and varnishing and throwing out old wood. The head is being moved to the forward compartment. As mentioned earlier, all of the electronics have shown up. Garmin 740GPSMAP, Radar, Sirius and XM satellite wx attenena and the converter for the whole package. I am supposed to be getting cap rails and a new wheelhouse, but no one seems to be in a hurry.
Here is a little info about Yanmar. Yanmar makes good engines, I would call them slightly above middle of the road, but wait til you need parts and accessories. Yeah, it is a drawback. I have to get 2 new instrument consoles, the ones that show RPM's, Temp, etc. Guess what, $1150 each. I literally looked at them and said "are you f**king s**ting me?" So, when and if you get a boat and have a chance to power it, look into replacement parts and accesories later on.
Andy, one of the few guys I really like, was supposed to show up today to work on the A/C and plumbing, as usual, no sight of him. I don't mean that is usual for him, I mean it is usual for everyone. As it happens, these guys have projects in marinas all over south Florida, apparently, mine is not high up on the priority list.
Oh well, just roll with it:) In the mean time, I need to get the electric and plumbing done so I can put in the floor and hatches, at which point we should be able to start moving stuff on the boat.
Have a tropical day:) John
