Hey Curtis, No problem. No offense. It was stupid crazy expensive, but necessary. I've had our boat for 11 years and my best times happened after the keel change, so no regrets here. The reason I wrote my response to the guy with the 41, was simply to explain the costs to consider.

Pompas ass. "sorry". I did get a deal on my boat. I had to. I am a man of no so much means. I put a lot of hard work into my boat after I payed for her. I also used expenses, that's not correct. I do have slip fees and insh etc. What I was talking abought is refit and getting her ready to sail after being left on a mooring ball after 4 1/5 years. She was in bad shape. Her name is the East Coast Lady. She is a 1981 C&C30MK1 HIN# 675 mentioned in the http://www.cncphotoalbum.com web site. I have tried to write the story in a blog. The engine was purchased from a guy in Road Island "E-Bay" and shipped to my shop. It was and is a good compression tesed take out. I was toldit came out of a boat that fell off a sea wall on the boat ramp and butesd the hull. what ever the engine has been tested and installed in my boat for 3 months. She runs like a top. I did the install my self. Hard work but I saved a ton of cha-ching$ Here is a link to the blog if you want to see her. Again sory for being a butt.
