The engine room is filling up. The big and essential items went in first; Sea chest, fuel system, engine, transmission, exhaust, variable pitch control box, and the VMAC welder/gernerator/air compressor/hydraulic pump. Now the big important items are going in; secondary generator, CNC Mill/Lathe, and a CNC Table that can plasma cut, route, and 3D print. And there is more to come. Many thanks to Tony Ozimek and to Tony Fleming for donating the generator.

The Tri Hull modification aka training wheels for a boat and a couple of other fixes before heading back to the lake. Repair to our poor over worked temporary boat trailer, and we still need to make some repairs to the diesel engine too.
