Bill, now that's a sad story. But no worries, you just have a bit of a mess to clean up before moving on. It sounds like you already had a saturation coat of epoxy on the hull that had cured. That should help when cleaning up the uncured goo. I think you should just remove the fiberglass cloth and c...

I think you can do it either way. On my C17, I'm waiting to put the upper side panels on till after fairing the bottom and adding the skeg and strakes. It's easier to reach across the hull to sand without it.

Hi Wobbly, I'm still around and keeping an eye on yours and Billtwo's progress. I'm fortunite to have a garage to keep my boat in, but I have to roll it outside to work on.

I was just reading your "New Installation" page on the Diesel site and the amateur mentioned in it fits me well. I know very little about inboards.

Thanks Joel!

So I made a mistake...

I have some excavation work to do. So bobcats are on my mind!

So Bobtail means engine only, but you do offer all other components too: transmission, stuff box, shaft?

On boatbuildercentral.com/diesel, what does "Bobcat List Price" mean? That's a new term to me. Also, I'm assuming all the engines are by Nannidiesel. The lower horsepower one have a Kubota engine block and the higher HP are Toyota. Is that right? Okay, one last question... Do the dimension...
