Been a busy beaver this winter. Picked up a used ‘03 HPDI that had some electrical gremlins. My port side ‘01 had a bad cylinder. So I stripped the ‘03 and swapped everything over from the ‘01. A few hiccups along the way but she fired right up and sounds good. Time for a serious clean and then sea trial.

My new one from last year, it sat for 2 years before I brought her so she needed lots of work before taking her out. I did several shake down runs last year and I still need to replace the water jacket gasket in one of the engines, repair a trim leak in one of the engines and repair a power steering leak.

It's great that you were able to observe the process at several stages of the build. Before I bought the Albin, I did visit the factory in RI and got a full tour from the plant manager to make sure I was comfortable with the methods and materials. Very informative.

Actually, my first choice when I moved up from my second Grady was going to be a Steiger. I also visited their facility and was very impressed. But my wife said she wanted more "creature comforts" and the ability to take our boat on summer vacations. Whenever the wife says she wants a bigger boat do not hesitate to break out the checkbook!!!:ROFLMAO:
