We were still working on a virtual zero budget but 2 of the guys
worked at International Harvester, fixing the same 6-71s the 40 footer
had. They managed to come up with all the parts we needed and get the
engines going. There were several handy guys around to fix the rest of
the broken stuff. I got my "ride" by rewiring the boat.

Long live the DD 6-71s. We've put over 6,000 hours on our pair in the
last 13 years or so, 48,000 nautical miles at last count.


Just about broken in, huh?
