Engine test time π±π€ (Patreon)

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 :)
