Very nice! I've been waiting to see this ever since I watched you yank it out with your post and beam assembly.
That is quite the undertaking. Well done!

Julio - curious to know how the compression checked out when you tested your Peninsular on the pallet? How many hours on your engine? It's nice to see that it can be removed with tranny attached. What other things did you fix while the engine was removed? Btw, it great to see someone doing some heavy grease monkey work on this site. I feel like there is not much of that amongst the Albin owners. Everything is farmed out.

@rlsheely yes lots of work that we put into our engine and our albin boat. I'm a marine tech myself so the process was fairly easy but very time consuming. If you have any trouble or issues with your boat or peninsular engine feel free to give me a shout. 8134100611
