Waanderlust Project--Phase II | Monday, May 9, 2011

After a long  hibernation, I prepared to move Waanderlust back into the shop for another round of work.  This time around, I'd be concentrating mainly on two areas:  the initial engine installation, including fuel tank; and completely weatherproofing the boat by building and installing new deadlights and frames and some covers for other openings as needed.

On a blustery, raw May morning, I removed the tarps and cover framework.  The boat was in great shape after her long hiatus, with only some minor dirty residue on the decks--inevitable during any layup.


    


Then I moved the boat into the shop and positioned her level side-to-side and fore-and-aft (more or less assured by the block heights and positions).

         

I'd already ordered the new engine--a Beta 25 diesel--and the new fuel tank, both of which would be on their way sometime in the next few weeks.  In the meantime, I began preparations for some of the other work that I'd be getting underway soon.
