Two steering housings rebuilt, 3 services, updated steering sensors, an FSM replacement in shin deep water (thank you to my service boat for being unsinkable) and many hours later this 48 Tiara with triple V12s is back on the water. Definitely gettin
Another V10 400 install completed.
I can confidently say we completed the first ever driveway repower on a @hhhboatworks 35. Even better, it was in Alabama. You could say we get around.
Not a planned stop on the way to the Bahamas but we got this @freemanboatworks 43 back on their way. Yes getting that lower off and on wasn’t fun.
Burning the midnight oil to wrap up a powerhead replacement and service on this 47 Freeman so this customer can get back to what this boat was meant to do.
