Well at least the hull wasn't a write off that's checked out ok, had to replace the prop shaft and the rudder assembly and its servo linkage replaced the servo then to make sure the motor was checked that's all in and its buoyancy checked ok

Just started on its new wiring main power is via a lead acid battery
all auxiliary and lights via separate battery, unlike my other tug she will not be so heavy
Not sure how I retro fit the mast lights etc but that’s another problem

Yes the answer is when it goes well but sometimes with manufacturer design faults it it isn't all its cracked out to be and having now done several fixer-uppers its just as satisfying
