Hi guys!

This week, I finally had all the parts needed to test the two engines that came with the boat. I won't spoil the ending, but we're close (off by one) to having two good engines ;)

I have placed the final order of parts. So far, we have about $5000 dollars in parts. That is a lot, but I'm hoping the gamble will pay off. When the boat sank, the engines were brand new, with only 100 hours on them. If we get a little bit lucky, they should have plenty of life left in them. If we don't get lucky, then there is going to be a lot of Yanmar parts for sale on eBay ;) What do you think? Will I regret the decision to stick with the two old engines? We'll get a chance to test them thoroughly this summer on the 700 nm trip to North Carolina :)

In other news, I've made good progress on the chain locker and anchoring setup this week, too. That might be next week's video. I can feel myself getting very motivated by the idea of getting the catamaran back in the water and relocating. I think that's going to be a great adventure :)

Thank you so much for your support! Have a fantastic weekend :)

PATREON ⛡️ Will our submerged engine work? DIY Hurricane-damaged catamaran Ep617

In this week's video, Mads finally has enough parts to test both of our Yanmar 3YM30AE engines. The engines are only from 2018, but one was submerged when the catamaran sank, and the previous owner rebuilt both of the engines. Will they explode?

Looking forward to seeing those engines back in their hulls. Nice work

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a Mads box opening blooper before! I bet that one didn't get past Eva :)
