Yep.......I play the sax, but the piano plays its self.
I could never figure out how somebody can read multiple lines of music at the same time!!

Update.....................three engines being rebuilt by Dan at Archer Marine. One had water in it on Mother's Day (oh my gosh........you spend so much money!!! yea mom.....that's why you raised me so well!!!
) so I figured all were a bit tired (1994 motors).

New update for my "winter project boat".........7-years later!!!
Where has the time gone!!The three rebuilt engines in 2005 had issues over the years. They were never quite right. Last year (2010) we took all three motors out AGAIN to completely go through them......with some oversight this time. Drives were taken off and gone through too. New bottom and drive paint. New stainless steel anchor. Doing some minor re-rigging in the engine area shortly before we install the new engines. I think I'm gonna update the dash panels, new radar/gps system and then.......probably sell. We'd like to move on to another performance cruiser in the 50-60' range and that just isn't going to happen if we still have this boat.
More pics in a few weeks.
