Salt & Tar: Ep.109- What About the Engine?

Installing a motor on a brand new build, when doing it yourself, isn’t cut and dry. It’s easy to take for granted the simplicity of repowering an old boat or rebuilding an engine in your restoration (however, NOT easy) but when you have to decide the placement of every part and acquire all the pieces from the engine itself to the prop, from the fuel tank to the water lift muffler, from the starter battery to that one odd hose no one seems to carry it makes the task a bit more daunting. So, we’ve broken it up over time… 4 years. Some late nights we’ve even considered selling the whole damn assembly. Who REALLY needs an engine…? Well, okay, it’d be nice to have, for sure, AND we’ve already built the interior around the motor…. Sorry, Garrett… I think we best keep going. Agreed? Agreed. Starting the engine will still be a ways away as we also continue to rig the boat and finish the interior BUT we’ve picked up where we left off and are making progress on the motor once more 😉

Cheers,
Ruthie
