Default Summer Winds update

Hey everyone been a while since my last update... A lot of work is getting done, mainly stripping... Every single piece of existing wire has been removed. Lower helm station removed. V berth gutted, old hynautic steering system removed entire cockpit floor has been removed, cockpit floor supports removed, exhaust system removed, old dahl fuel filters removed.... Found out that the engines that are currently in the boat are indeed Detroit Diesel 6v53's but the hitch was that they are supercharged, twin turbo, 2 stroke 400HP!! diesels (damn) They are going to be coming out in a week or so... everything has been disconnected only the motor mounts/trans remain.. I will be taking some pictures over the weekend to show everyone the progress.
Take care for now!
-John

It certainly is going to be a nice looking ride when your done with it. What are you thinking of repowering it with?
