Well the process has finally started. They ve need stripping the engines and they should be ready to come out early next week. Can't find a crane that can reach all the way so they re building an A frame with a I beam to the aft deck where the crane can pick them up
Manifold, risers, exhaust hoses, mufflers, ancillaries are already out

Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
Oh wow, having flash backs.
Might have missed this but how far are you going to go rehabbing the ER such as paint, exhaust tubes, etc.
The best of luck, have been there twice, got it pretty perfect the second time.
Mostly because the crew was pushing me to some projects I wasn't going to do initially, fortunately we did, they were spot on with their guidance/suggestions.
It's a long way to the finish line, will be more than worth it, it's like getting a new boat.CRICKET

Going to repaint the ERs. Replacing all the exhaust as the hoses were sagging and soft and they need to be 8" instead of 6". Replacing all the sea cocks, removing strainers and installing South Bay strainers. New fuel lines, filters, batteries and cables... everything.

Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
Waste lines for the master have been done, when I combined the heads and companionway into one big master head Forward, after the repower I m going. To remove the existing head and build a new one where the dinettes used to be. So yes there will be new waste line!
