You and the crew did a great job getting her functional again. 👍🏼😎 🍻 Your plans to do upgrades and replacements will only make it better. In the meantime you’re back out on the water!

You guys did an awesome job! Especially in 90 degree heat. Nothing wrong with a budget partial rebuild to get you through another year or two. Well done!

Sorry to see you're having so many problems with your engines. Hopefully, you'll be able to keep them running, until it's time to install some diesels. We're currently considering the purchase of a Gibson 50, and will re-power it with either Yanmar 8LV's or a pair of Cummins 6.7's. On the positive side, you luckily didn't find any rot in the stringers when you were re-securing the engine mounts, which can definitely be a problem in some older Gibsons. Thanks for the update and I look forward to the next installment. 👍

Hey great job. I'm no mechanic, but what a big undertaking. I would run the motor till it blows. You have plans for longer destinations. Yep new motors would be the option. Always enjoy your content.

Looks like you got it done, yeah those cast iron raw water risers are only good for a few years in the salt. I've been a marine mechanic starting out as a helper since 1985, I'm a diesel guy that briefly took a job working on gas stuff/outdrives for about 6 months and decided to go back to diesels. A friend did a lot of stern drive gas stuff, we get a lot of midwest boaters move to the coast with their 25 yr old Sea Ray etc and he tells them "replace those manifolds" and they don't listen, six months later the call is "my engine is locked up" because the manifold failed, filled it with sea water, and it went un discovered for weeks.

If you can a hold of metal rescue at Home Depot you will thank me a million times. They have it in a 5 gallon. Just soak your engine parts overnight. You can buy it in a one gallon just in case you want to experiment.

I would have done the same thing an I am a mechanic. Should run fine for a long time. I would make sure the engine room fan is on when running that engine to keep from a carbon monoxide buildup from that leak.

@hatzic860 yes very thirsty....and neither motor was running good. about 1.5 mpg but getting just over 2 mpg now that they are tuned and repaired. Think it was about $2500 but now the trip would cost about $1800...OUCH
