Re: Rehoboth Bay (DE)
Yes, I know....I've been in the marine business for years and gradually turned the business toward land based backup generators. I spent a lot of time on other peoples boats making them run and the generators work. The worst part is the gawd-awful condition some of these people let thier boats get into. At the time I swore I'd never have a boat I couldn't clean with a water hose and pressure washer. But now, I think I need something with A/C so the family will come along on those offshore trips. Another plus, we can use it for company entertainment :) I'm going to bring her here to the shop and put her up on blocks for the winter and address all the maintainable items and if the engines don't pass a good leakdown test (or are otherwise iffey), I'll put in a pair of Yanmar diesels while she's out, but I'd rather wait on repowering until I'm sure I want to keep the boat. Another plus, this type boat is readily selling for 18-25K around here (if I don't like it).
