Looks great Scott. How are the new engines running ?

Doug,

thanks and the engines are running great, just the fact that they start instantly is awesome! My wife hasn't let me take her out singlehanded since the heart issue, I feel fine now, but she worries, so I havent run her much out of the slip lately. However, I run her in gear in the slip every weekend, my mpg sucks!

Very impressed with all your work done. I noticed in one pic of the interior at the windsheild there is a crank to open the center window. Was this standard on "F" boats ? Think this would work great on my 10 meter to open the same window and save my back.

i'll take this one. it was standard on the f-32 and i believe on the f-36 sedans, but sadly no, not on the meter boats or the tri cabins. and i wish they did. the front vent windshield on the tri cabin is really not the easiest to open and i do wish that trojan had used the smaller windows below the larger ones as a vent window with a crank. they could have even done the ones on the opposite sides of the center one and used a crank. chris craft did on their double cabin 380 and 350 catalinas.

Never seen them on the F36 convertable / sedan but yes on the F32

I'm glad you are feeling better. One thing we do not leave port without is a defibulator. It is more for my bosses older friends but I feel a little better knowing its onboard and ready.

Just becuse I have never have seen one ,its still possible

Small vent window pane exists on the F32, but not all are crank like the photo shows. Mine ('79) has a thumb-screw mechanism that I think I have opened a half dozen times since I bought the boat 12 years ago.

Don't have one on mine either.

Doug,

Defib, not a bad Idea!

As far as the center window, I wish it were bigger
