Joining the family - Too

[larryrotta]

Vowed to never become a two boat owner but when this 28' TE popped on the scene I could not resist and earlier this morning my offer to purchase was accepted so time to join this forum to begin tuning in to all the collected wisdom of this group. She is a '95 model well turned out and cared for with a Flag Blue hull. My only reservation is the Peninsular engine with 2300 hours. She exhibits no sign of a troubled past but engine reputation is a bit sketchy from what I have heard. If need be I am prepared to repower with a Cummins but hope not to.
So I'm Larry and married to Susan. We are retired educators and live on Suttons Bay just north of Traverse city in northwest Michigan and look forward to meeting some of you in our near future.
Best,
Larry

Welcome to you both, many 28 owners on site, the Peninsular engine should appear often if you do a search in the forum. We re-powered our 27 FC with a Cummins and our very happy with it, enjoy.

Welcome aboard Larry and Susan. If you ever make it to Chicago, look for a 28TE flag blue hull in Monroe Harbor named Absolutely on a can near the Columbia Yacht Club.You will most likely find me, Capt. Ronv on board. This is my first season with her and so far, all is well.
Can't comment on the Peninsular beast. I have a 315 Yanmar.
See you on the water.

Welcome Larry. That is a strong engine. No worries.
