Yesterday when I was driving around, I stumbled into what appears to
be a very interesting deal.

42' Egg Harbor older boat (don't know the year yet) which has had a
lot of restoration work done on it. Almost a complete refit if you
will. The interior is in perfect shape and the hull, which had some
blisters and such, was refurbished and painted. Topsides are tight as
I understand that could be a problem on some Egg Harbor boas. Boat is
stored under cover which was something of a plus.

The problem is that the engines have been stripped out - basically the
entire engine area is stripped bare. I honestly don't know if it had
diesels or not - didn't think to check the tank.

Anyway, I just received a call from the guy who is working on selling
it - apparently it was a project boat and the owner died - his wife is
selling it. If what he says is true, the basic boat sans engines is
in near perfect condition after a ton of work - all reciepts and such
available to look at.

The issue is that I can get the boat cheap - as in pocket change cheap
- as in chump change cheap.

What does a pair of complete diesels go for installed assuming that I
run the plumbing, do the electrical work, install filters and such as
that?
