    Moving up to a slightly larger vessel/engine combo!

    Well guys - the deal is almost completed...looks like I will have my hands full with a slightly different vessel/engine combination.

    Gonna try and hang onto the C&C Corvette - but my time will now be divided between two boats and two marinas!

            Man, hemi engines? Can you get parts for those anymore?

            Not that I'm jealous or anything, lol.

              Well it's gas so why not an A-4 for a genset.

              Could be a good Segway for this sight to play with as all of the engine functions are basically the same.

              Way cool to be cruising in too.

                And you don't have to fool around with bridges.

                  What do you mean "moving up slightly"? More like moving up a lot in my book.
                  The nautical equivlant of a mistress and a wife.
                  One for routine use and one to sport around with.
                  Sounds like a high maintenance life 2 me. I can hardly keep up with one. (women & boat)

                    From an Atomic-4 to a Firedome-8.
                    Very nice.

                    I guess you already know what highball means then?

                      Original twin Chrysler 331 marine hemis completely rebuilt from the crankshaft up with no expense spared and 100hrs on the clock...not to mention an original two cylinder electrical generator motor that works perfectly.

                      You can get parts for anything these days!

                        It does have the original two cylinder electrical generator motor Dave...but I was thinking that A4 generator angle too.

                          I bet she will deliver pretty fair fuel economy as long as you stay off WOT?

                            I think you are suggesting it's time to dump the wife?
