Hi guys!

Not only are the engines back in the boat with new spiffy engine mounts but both engines are also aligned and bolted in place. This is major progress and a big step towards us being able to get out of Florida.

This weekend I hope to get the dripless shaft seals and flexible couplings installed as well as get 99% of the old steering back in place. Keep an eye out for a Patreon live update video on Monday ;)

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

Could you please tell me your honest opinion about kiwigrip? I'm wondering how it feels and when the time comes what do you think you will use for the CAT ? I going to repaint and redo thr non akid on my boat end of the month and I'm town between soft sand and total boat wet edge .. kiwigrip, or tuffcoat. What's your honest opinion also what do you think about using a laser level to layout the tape lines my aft cockpit floor for antiskid sections ..

Of course :) Keep in mind this is just my opinion - others might have had better luck with KiwiGrip than we had. I won't use it aboard the catamaran for a few reasons. My main complaint is that it's slippery in bare feet and certain types of shoes. I don't know why. We have as rough of a texture as you can make with KiwiGrip on the cabin top and it's just as slippery in bare feet as the deck. We haven't had any of the KiwiGrip fail and flake off so that is a positive. I've read a lot of people claiming it's difficult to keep KiwiGrip clean. I don't think we have struggled as much with that as some other people but it is more difficult to keep clean than a super smooth high gloss surface. I'd be very interested to see a side-by-side comparison to something like paint with SoftSand added. Long story short. KiwiGrip was easy to apply, it hasn't failed in the 5-6 years we have had it on the cabin top (the deck is only 4 years old) but because it's slippery in bare feet and certin tyeps of shoes I won't use it again.
