I've got a survey scheduled for Wednesday 28Jan with a recommended fellow
who will do the compression test, bore scope, oil analysis, run it up to
temps and put it under load (not at sea, though) on both the 4-154 and the
much newer generator.

If it turns out like it should (effective work for the price), I'll let you
know who it is, as it seems nobody here knows anyone to refer in SE FL...

night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin

I'm going to do a survey on a suspect 4-154, but don't live anywhere near
FTL, so doing my own on-the-ground legwork is challenging.

Does anyone have a Perkins maven they'd recommend for an engine survey in
the FTL area?

Thanks.
