Good post, great photos. Fine looking boat. Good to see the windlass is stored “at rest”… too many times guys leave them TIGHT to keep the anchor secure and that is damaging to the bearings and shaft.
I know we covered this already as to propping 480 vs 450 but here’s you performance specs including GPH. She may be a tad thirstier than you think especially if she’s propped as a 480CE and propped on the edge, or worse…
How exactly did the tech determine the aftercoolers were pristine? What was actually disassembled and inspected?
