Here are some more pictures for anybody interested. It is getting real close to completion now - maybe sea trial next week or the week after! Can't wait. Tony Athen's and his crew in Oxnard at Seaboard Marine are great - real professionals.

Test fire - she runs great! --I had them put in soundproofing throughout the engine compartment and with this engine design you can hardly hear anything!
I'll post more after the sea trial.
