Good Morning Anna-
I wanted to give you and update on the progress =f the Big N. This morning we were ready to lift and
install the port =ngine. Bosco has informed us that the port engine is not ready, he has = few more things he needs to
address. I know you were looking into =eplacing the gear boxes but have had no success in finding new =nes that are
similar. I am writing this email so we are all on the =ame page as far as a completion date. The majority of our work
hinges =n having those engines installed. The exhaust system on each engine has =o be finished, but in order for us to
complete this we have to have the =ngines in. The same goes for the new fuel lines and all the =lectrical components
that run to the engines. I know we discussed =he end of this month/beginning of next month but each day that we wait
=or the engines to be completed it delays us from our target date. A few =ssues have been discovered while working on
Big N. 1) The shaft logs on =oth sides are corroded beyond repair. We anticipated that we might have =his problem so it
was factored into the quotation. 2) The port stern =uarter looks like it might have hit a dock which has separated some
of =he stringers on the inside. It is repairable and I told you we would repair it under the quotation. 3) The fuel fill cover
on both sides are =ompromised and need to be replaced. They are not sealing properly and =ver the course of time have
allowed salt water to seep in and =ontaminate the fuel tanks. Which leads me to your biggest issue we have =iscovered
while working in the rudder room where the fuel tanks are =ocated. The bottoms of the fuel tanks and several other
areas are =everely corroded. It is my recommendation that these tanks be =eplaced. The only way for a proper repair
are to =eplace both tanks. The original tanks got you 40 years so I =on't see why the new ones we fabricate cant get the
same amount of =sage out of them. Attached our a couple of pictures of the corrosion =nd an estimate to remove and
replace both tanks. Please call or email =ith any questions...
