The new Westerbeke weights mush less than the Perkins. You will need to add some lead ingots into the bilge behind the engine. This will keep the rudder down in the water and the bob stay tang out of the water when at anchor or in the slip. This is a common problem when repowereing a Mariner which previously had a Perkins 4-107 or 4-108.

Congrats man. I had Murre on the hard for the better part of a year in 2003. There were times when I wondered if she'd ever be ready for the hoist, and if so, if she'd actually float.

Boats may look like boats on the hard, but they don't feel like boats till you get them in the water. And, as I recall, it feels real good. So congrats.

Photos look good. Nice spreaders, dude. :)

Given how busy my M31 keeps me, I admire the bravery of those of you who've attacked M40s. Man, what a job!
