Anybody know if I need to wrap the drives? Got the Bullet under its mooring cover, but the drives are exposed, with a drop light in the engine compartment, we should hit 22-28 degrees for about 6 hours.

If I were you I would have drained all the water out of the motors and headers. If you did that you should be good to go. Drives should be fine.

Just had all the fluids changed and the shop ran the engines and told me they had drained them after they ran. They were highly recommended, but I'm still new to this.

I talked to the guy and he sent me some pics. Yes, it has Russian built Turbines. It looks like the transom was heavily modified, but still had bravos. Engine compartment heavily modified. Cabin closet has the batteries. What looks like dual PLC controllers to control the engines on the cabin bulkhead. Dash modified quite a bit. I could keep going, but I think you guys have the idea. It will take alot of work to ever get it usable again with BBC engines. It may be OK for a project boat if bought cheap enough.
