One with 8.3 Cummins? Should be a nice boat.
Well, tell us more about her.. Your thoughts? What you like? What da boss likes?
Great pictures. I'm afraid that is teak. The way it is splintered around the old bungs and screw heads. I think mahogany would splintered more...
Uh Oh, I know not to try these things. Falling on my face and a human bowling ball into a crowd or wall (Wile E Coyote) come quickly to my mind....
That just finished its break in cycle and starting to wear in. A good fresh engine like this should not smoke unless it is a dock queen.
I rebuilt a boat years ago that was full of mahogany. On some frames, shelves and trim, I used red-oak furniture wood and min-wax when to light.
