Excellent write-up, acellist. If I recall, you averaged just about 1nmpg on that trip. Funny thing about the 90hp set of Lehmans...they burn...
acellist, thanks for the numbers. I love the shot out the transom window. 1.5" shafts with 871s? Hmmm...that leads me to believe that the...
Gotcha. I've always heard of that version of the 871s as 320hp. Without input from owners of sister ships to this one, it's difficult to say...
"perfectly good pair of Cat 3116's " HA! Now there's a contradiction in terms if ever I saw one! lol Seriously, I've also talked with...
OK, we're back to powerplants again. It turns out that the shafts are actually 1.5" and the exhaust is 4"ID. That means that the max HP that can...
Things would go faster if you and the other Eric would come down and help out. lol Next weekend I'm focusing on getting shore power hooked up...
Work, work, work. Yadayadayada And a great time was had by all... Look what we've done to the aft stateroom! Isn't it wonderfully spacious...
Done and ready for tenting next weekend. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Kewl. Thanks for the links. Ain't the internet grand? Well, we wrapped up our 11-day working holiday by getting rid of that horrid aft deck...

Thanks, SeaEric! It has been a very busy 36 hours... Never underestimate the power of a Subaru jack and a 2x4. Like pretty much everything...

Christmas Day 2007 The missus and I are deep into an 11-day working vacation in which the mission is to 1) get all of the cr4p off the boat, b)...
The boatyard owner who has the TIBs is a buddy of a buddy and we've met before. He kept them after repowering the boat they came out of rather...
Well, this isn't the first large Chris yacht I've owned so this stuff isn't a complete and total stab in the dark for me. These are without a...
I like the way you think, Art. Starting this Saturday, the missus and I are off for 11 days. We're going to spend most of that time down on...
1969 RIV MY (AL) RAQ-46-2505 (AL) "Sa Va" Southern MD. SeaMaster Twin Turbo intercooled 543ci gas being repowered to 6-71TIb and otherwise restored.
The story on my new 46 Roamer was that it originally came with 8v71 power, which got swapped out to twin turbo and intercooled 543ci SeaMaster...
These babies haven't budged in about 17 years. Steel rudders on an aluminum boat. Whatevah... [IMG] When Sa Va was towed down river in...
I appreciate your opinion and it's certainly consistent with EPA-endorsed clean-diesel.org, which says nobody needs to worry. Then again, EPA...
