I did not receive any of the orginal manuals, or anything else for that matter. If I could get copies, that would be great.
We plan on doing some traveling, I know others have said the same and have not been able to find the time or money. Barb and I feel we can make it happen. We have been boating together for the 22 years we have known each other. This is our fourth boat together, we also have a 42C Silverton we will sell as we get closer to launching the Chris back in the water, in two or three years. We really are looking forward to a lot more boating. I have started to completely modeling/restore her, starting with gutting the bilges and working my way throught the entire boat. Right now I am doing as much investigating as I can. How much more efficent would she be with a pair of 8.1L's vs the 427's (even if they are rebuilt)? What if we do the Great Loop? I had to remove the bridge to ship her here and I must say, I like the look, plus less weight and less wind drag. I pulled the genset and engines a couple of weeks ago, shrink wraping it tomorrow so I can contune to clean the bilges and work on her. The fuel tanks are next.
