Decided to go with new strut bearings and reworked props; without doing the realignment of the engines recommended by the yard. Prop Shop found bent blades and very unbalanced props. Finished prop work with very little difference between the props.

Fished offshore yesterday, about 12 miles, 03/21. Boat ran very smooth cruising at 3200rpm's 20 knots flawlessly with no vibrations. Pushed it up to 3800 rpm's at 25 knots, all good. Next trip will try max throttle to fully check it out.

Keep engine realignment in my back pocket and use my own mechanic at $85.00/hr. Rather than yard rate $120.00/hr.
