We picked up a crab pot off Islamorada with damage to our transmission in March 2021, thus with the engine out we did a full engine rebuild of our 85 hp Perkins 4.236 with A&M diesel in Miami. We replaced the Hurth transmission with a new unit. and a new custom drive shaft and PSS dripless seal was also installed. 
We need to have a back stay antenna installed in order to make functional our new ICOM 803 high frequency radio system with DSC . We plan to upgrade our dinky to a new RIB, and we have a new 15 horse power Yamaha four stroke to power it.
