Great to here you'll be on the bay side, when she gets down here. Paul and I made a trip up that way last yr from Kinsale Va. and back I used 240 gallons of gas with an avg speed overall of 12 knots. At 8 knots I get about 1 for 1 if not a little better with 454' s how about you guys with 350's give him a fuel burn at 7 to 8 knots so he'll have a good guess on $ for trip.

One one engine I would think he woulld be in the 1 mpg range or maybe better ( fairly clean running gear ) so if planed on 200 gal you will be safe I would think ( should be less )
Is the one engine / drive in good running condtion ?
I would buy a sea tow or boat tow member ship inadvance of the trip so you don't do a repete of your last trip from DC
Tony 240 gals ? ouch

I may have the v-drive you need. If you tell me the specs on the one you have, I can compare.
I will give you a GREAT deal on it if its the correct one. I have no need for it anymore.

Welcome from another recently acquired tri-cabin owner. I notice you said your daughter is the proud new owner but that you will be doing all the work? Good to know the world order hasn't changed much! I named my tr-cabin "basket Case" because it was also neglected and needs a ton of work. This forum is the place to be!. Regards Steve (Risctaker)

Welcome aboard to you and your daughter.
I would go by water, but not with 1 engine over a multi-day trip. VERY difficult to navigate (especially if you're not used to a large powerboat).
Best would be add new V-drive ASAP in DC and then motor down with 2 working engines.
Or ... find a buddy who will tow your boat down - might be a fun trip.
Best of luck!

If it is the same as mine they are Walter Vee drives and they still make em. Your engine ser # will be on the door covering the fuse panels at the helm check them against the tag on the heads and that will tell you something
