Capt. Ned
First , let me say congratulations on the launching of your gallant ship! It too me 13 years just to get a 22 ft Ray Hunt center console restored, with not nearly the work involved (though I did have to disembowel it like your Hubert).
Earlier in your build, I asked you about the FWC on the Crowns, I thought it was pretty clever the way you incorporated the expansion tanks on the engines.
As a Marine Engineer by profession, I am curious to know what are these crowns running temps with the FWC? (I would imagine around 180 degrees).
Is the FWC cooling the engine block water and the exhaust manifolds?, or just the engine block only?
She lays down a nice flat rooster tail when she's tached up, which means she's a well designed and efficient hull. She looked like the Belle of the Ball at Mystic!
Well Done Sir!, you have given new life to a vessel that will be cherished for years to come! God Bless You! Erich
