Frank:

She looks totally mint and the Youngs did a great job. Love the 'Ice Blue'. Keep us posted on the Repower job...you've got me thinking about that again...I will be very interested to find out your numbers and prop spec's. I assume you stay with 1.1/4" shaft??The Yanmar rep at the NY boat show wasn't 100% sure on that when I asked, but I assume he was figuring on the bigger 6 inline. ?

Thanks

The shaft is going up to at least 1 3/8". I'm going with 1 1/2" if it will work. My strut is fabfricated stainless steel so I'm having a machine shop remove the existing barrel and weld on a new one. From everybody I talked to, 1 1/4" isn't enough.
