These pictures were taken by YF member "YachtJockey", who is too busy at the yard to upload pics. The photos were taken at Cable Marine. It is a 65' flybridge motoryacht with triple Mercury 2.5 outboards. The engines were mounted to a bracket that was bolted to the swim platform. Why, you might ask? To get the boat back to Texas (from Florida). Note the...
