I’m considering replacing my ‘67 A4 with a Moyer rebuild. I have a Cal 28 with a v-drive. I’m in a slip in Morro Bay, Calif. Are there any “good guys” in my area? I'll travel as far south as Ventura, if necessary.
Have any of you attempted this replacement, and do you have any words of advice (or warning) for me? How long SHOULD this operation take an experienced mechanic, if no glitches are encountered?
Someone suggested that we use my boom to help hoist and move the engine in to place. Can the boom actually handle a 350# load this way, especially from the dock, given the cantilever?
Many thanks. Looking forward . . . gj
