If you take a look at the first pic you can see why we decided to replace one of our engines. Even with the starter and alternator removed you can see how the creative use of silver spray paint by the former charter company was only a temporary mask. (photo 1)
The new/rebuilt engine safely shipped from the mainland. (photo 2)
Getting nervous as she gain's altitude. (photo3)
Much manuvering and creative use of language as she is lowered into the stbd hull. Big award for creative use of multiple lines. Just me and the misses handled the whole job. (photo 4)
Sliding home over the shaft and into position. For a workout try man-handling 300 pounds of engine around in a tight space. Phew! (photo 5)

Still alignment and wiring/hoses to connect, but for now she's safe aboard Island Hops
