Dave did the work on our Fastech. Not a single person on this planet that does better work and has more attention to detail. You’ve got the best on the job. Can’t wait to see it when finished.

I saw the thread on the repairs done to your old 353. He Definitely went the extra mile. Looking forward to seeing mine nice n fresh and probably better than factory!

Hell, I could have given you a good one. Peter Piper. Sat on my lap every night , right next to Sugar Bear the dog. He was faster than anything I ever tried to catch. He was a good boy, but he was really stressing out my dog. He is in a good home with little kids.

What caused those dark stains in the bilge? Oily water sloshing around ?

Seems that way, both of my trim pumps are seeping and my port side engine is definitely leaking.

I'm a couple months of ownership into my 292 so I'm watching this thread like a hawk.

Adding full hydraulic steering is definitely on my hot list of upgrades - past 55 mph in any kind of waves and it gets kinda dangerous, small waves it's ok. If I find wet, but not rotten wood in the transom when it's time to install I think I'll try to dry out the transom and fix the leak first before totally redoing it. Drill a bunch of holes on the inside of the transom and stuff moisture wicks into the holes, then run a dehumidifier in the bilge for a month. Seal the holes with penetrating epoxy etc after.

I know one thing: if I spend the amount of time working on the boat you are spending I'll be looking at divorce!
