Hoping that the bilge will be painted and at least one engine finally in place by the end of the week!

Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
Hi Pascal, When you lowered the stringers to install the new alum engine mount frames, did you
determine how that stringer alteration would affect the strength of the hull under the engines. I noticed in the picture that the original stringer was notched and I was wondering if it created a possible break point. I hope not.....

Everything was beefed up. The inside of the stringers were reinforced and the hull was also doubled in thickness outside the stringers for the new stabs.
I believe the original stringers were extra tall to accomodate the 0 angle allisons not for strength.Pascal

Re: 53 MY Repower, started!
Looking good!!! I talked to one of our club members who has a 53 which has C series at 480 hp, comfortable 16-18kt cruise, 24kt WOT.
Nice guy, great looking boat, but an unfortunate name..... Freebird. LOL
