Don,
It is a shame. I love 6V53s. I have rebuilt many Detroits and the 6V53 is my
favorite. They are built like a Swiss watch. I have a 3-53 as an aux in my
sailboat.

Actually Steve, I am a windboat guy. I have a 35' mahogany planked sloop
in the boatshop right now. Hoping to put her back in come Spring. Just
that this boat is "such a deal" and I kinda like the idea of a big,
comfortable cruiser that goes anywhere, anytime, without tacking, reefing,
lying to, or getting wet & cold in winter (we do sail in winter).
