Successful sea trial of re-built port engine!!!

Whoop! On Friday we had a very good sea trial of the re-built port engine. Along the way, the starboard engine also had much work done on it also including re-built fuel injectors, timing set (it was 15+ degrees off), valves adjusted, etc.  Both engines performed far better than in the nearly 6 years that we have owned Lucky Us. Right at the very "start" it was very positive. Both engines started in under 5 seconds instead of the 4-5 five minutes of grinding away on the starboard engine in particular.
    We hope to begin the break in process with an overnight trip to Galveston tomorrow... Stay tuned!
