Thanks for the add to the group. I'm a retired marine mechanic thrilled about my new purchase. It is going to test all my knowledge acquired over the years. The boat has had several owners over the years and they all did their own part in upkeep with no ability or knowledge. Mechanical repairs were the worst example of professional service I've ever seen in my career. The CCW engine was rebuilt by ??? and parts were mixed with other generation 454's resulting in the worst vibration imaginable above 1200 RPM. That being said, I'm looking forward to returning her to her former glory. I've had an assortment of cruisers and am looking forward to many happy times aboard the Tiara. Ron Evans the Jolly Skipper
