Engine work progressing

When launched, our soon to be our Pacific Seacraft 37 had a catrostropic engine failure (siezed water pump which distroyed the camshaft).  That was on May 24th.  Mechanic has been working on teardown and now is in the throws of reassembly.  Several other issues were discovered and corrected.  Essentially a major overhaul with a zero hour reset.  The engine had less than 800 hours on it when it happened.

Sea trial is now looking like July 20th.  If it happens we will transfer ownership of the boat and head to RKD on Saturday morning.

Finger's crossed.  Still on track for a 2 week trip downeast late in the month.
