Having a love of restoring old boats, and having been stuck it to by mechanics, I feel your pain and applaud your attitude.

I have the same boat. I’m having a problem with stuffing boxes getting hot was wondering what size shafts you have and what size are the stern tubes

[@Turbotalkin]

I think I missed something, you drove it home then took it somewhere to fix the trans link and they fucked ya? Now your fixing there mess?

Pretty much nailed it. Blew the starboard Trans out in that 6hr storm. Shipped the boat home. Had several mechanics take my money to install the new trans. None of them actually did the job. Said fk it, I’ll do it myself. Brought the boat home from the yard and am currently reassembling it myself
