Optical Illusion on to engine shop
 
Moved the old gal to Eddie Young's new shop from the upolstery shop today. Time for some maintance/tune issues and a gen set replacement. I hope to have her on the water in 4-6 weeks. Joe Murray

Eddie seams to be doing OK for all the TRAUMA of the last year. I think he and his family have landed on their feet. I think the next few years could hold some good things for him. Joe Murray

He will be missed at TMP... :( One of the best QUIET engine builders that I know, extremely knowledgeable. Jeff

Ordered the gen set today. Should be in next week. While I am at the shop my nephew and I are going to do some stereo revamping and upgrading.

I cant wait to see the pics of the boat when your done. How much longer do you think it will take?

I would think about 4 more weeks. The gen set is diesel so there are some rigging issues to work out. The rest of it is straight forward maintenance and test and tune.

Well the boat got inside the shop today. Staboard motor and gen set out tomorrow. Then rigging on new sea water strainers and gen set begin on Friday. Eddie will be in NO for his new baby's birth next week and then back the week after to finish up. I figure in the water by Memorial day. Joe
