Sounds good! I hope it gets to you soon so the yard can pop it right back in,Pete

So motor balance is paid off...it was getting painted last Thursday, should have shipped Friday. But I was busy and didn't get a chance to follow up, will call Monday to get the eta. Hopefully in the next two weeks she will be floating again! I keep hoping I'll get to use her this year, lol. She dynoed right over 300, said she should be a bit over 310 once she breaks in a bit....here's hoping!

[Pedro]

Great news! I hope the weather stays nice, and you get in a few weeks of boating!

[Jeremyvmd]

Yea talked to them today, they took an extra day to clean up and repaint the tranny (for free) so it should ship by tomorrow (was being crated) gonna get email confirm when it's out. Fingers crossed. Marina is having their big bonfire party oct8. Me and the wife are both off so hoping to make a weekend out of it on the boat, we shall see...

[Jeremyvmd]

motor arrived at the marina yesterday - gonna head down on tues and check it out, ill post up some pics once I have them. Its silly but I kinda hope they got rid of the "beast" name plate on the aftercooler - lol. marina seems to think having it by the 8th wont be an issue...

Getting down to the wire now, Jeremy! Exciting!

[Pedro]

Good news,And the weather is still nice,

[Jeremyvmd]

yea it is still really nice, plus with heat and a genset i should be good for a while...gonna try and keep it in the water till december if possible..gonna have to split my time between hunting and boating;)

[Jeremyvmd]

So my dad was at the marina dealing with issues on poco loco, and sent me a few pics of the motor. They did discover that the exhaust elbow was bad (wish they had looked earlier but oh well) so that is getting ordered as well. I'm really hoping the time table doesn't get screwed up!!! I want her in the water and bad...I'm hoping they can get her done by oct 7th...

[Nancy]

Ooooo, sure is shiny! Hope that elbow arrives really soon.

Jeremy, glad to see the eagle has landed. She will be getting NEW engine mounts, right?

[Jeremyvmd]

Oh yea, new mounts (well three of the four, lol) came with the motor. Gotta talk to the marina guys and see what the score is before I call peninsular. I'm replacing as much stuff as my wife and wallet will allow to prevent problems in the future! Just finished putting in new vent hoses and saw my exhaust hose was replaced and the tank is in and they have started plumbing it (genny is all set)

[RobS]

Good deal.

I read your post quick and thought it said "I'm replacing my wife if my wallet will allow"

[Jeremyvmd]

Lol nah I like my wife, lol. So turns out the motor mounts they used to ship the motor were just for shipping, the new mounts came in today. So they can proceed with install. Exhaust elbow (see pic below) will be here Thursday.

That's a beautiful BEAST!! Good luck getting on the water SOON!!
