The New Motor

What's red like a tonka truck and purrs like a kitten? The new motor in my boat! After 6 months of work, redoing all kinds of systems, and building new motor mounts, I finally got her all installed wired and everything. The guy who came to fill out the warranty info told me it was the first owner-installed engine he did not have to re-align. Now you all need to come to Annapolis and go for a boat ride with me.




Walt the Highlander Diesel guy helps me lower the motor into her new home between Calliope's bilge boards.

















Now, isn't that a sight? Shiny, red, and ready to thump. Note all the white paint that Suze did such a great job of helping me to apply.
