Hello, :angel: I have a whole bunch of questions but let's just start with Marina Costs, say from North Carolina down through Florida. I have tried calling around and folks are not too helpful over the phone. For Liveaboard? Do they charge by the LWL or LOA? For Transient docks? LWL or LOA...

Hello, Thanks for your response. Since you own a cat can I trouble you for the motor's sweet spot? On the last 2 of our diesel cars it was /is right around 1,950 to 2,200 Much above that and goes went way downhill. BUT more importantly for me is when you putt around at 12 to 1500 economy is...

RE: Engine swap...Let's switch gears I think I confused the last guy, I apologize. Apparently the consensus is to not mess with mother nature! Although motor swaps are commonplace in the automotive world and well within my personal realm of abilities. Two thoughts here... 1)The older diesels...
