Yes but this is a good place to get work done. Some of the biggest builders of custom sportfish are just a few miles south of here - lots of good people and lots of resources. It's also an interesting area to poke around in. Kitty Hawk and the Wright Brothers Museum are a few miles north, Cape Hatteras and Ocracoke about 60 miles south. There are miles and miles of deserted beaches, big dunes, interesting wildlife, etc. It took two guys a day and a half just to get the tranny out. It's built like a battleship but probably needs a few dollars worth of hydraulic seals which will take about 8 man days of labor to replace. Eessshhhh... |
