Luckily[ATTACH=CONFIG]544591[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]544592[/ATTACH] i have a guy that does the grinding for me. The engines were moving around so much before we did the work that they actually twisted the mounting brackets, spit out an undersized 71C transmission and a TRS drive. Clients happy, boat floats and makes a LOT of noise.

Was a pleasure to deal with the customer. Not so much the grinding though

bring a metal detector with you when you do find one, my 1984 30 scarab, the 6 little wing-let bulkheads on either side of the fuel tank, were tacked onto the main stringers with roofing nails prior to being tabbed in, and no 2 ways about it, it was done at the factory, i swear to god.
