Engine issues

May 22, 2006

The issue that I'm currently focussed on is the engine, or more importantly how to put it back in running condition. The engine is an Atomic 4 gasoline engine. I purchased a used engine in Maine with the intention of overhauling it and replacing the engine currently in the boat. However, now I have been advised by our proposed parts supplier that we should overhaul the engine currently in the boat and use the older engine for parts. This means that I will have to travel to Shelburne, Vermont (a 13 hour drive), remove the engine and drive home again. The only time I have available to do the trip is next Sunday through Wednesday. I guess I'd better start planning that trip.
