    Does anyone know if the motors worked well or did they blow up ?

    The boat is alive and well and docked in or around KAM Marine which is the old Gregory Boat/Detroit Boat Basin near Bayview Yacht Club on the Detroit River.

    The owner of Gregory Marine owned the boat at one time and was the person responsible for the repower. The yard personnel that you see in the video were Gregory Marine employees. He sold the boat a few years ago I believe due to health and financial issues and the current owner keeps the boat near Bayview Yacht Club because he also has a large racing sailboat.

    My sister was on the boat last year and said it looked very nice and owner said it performed well with the Yanmars.
