    I'd like to comment on the condition of those engines - both before and after the fabulous repairs. I organize and run a training for the Naval Sea Cadets that involves a lot of boating. In years past, we have spent nearly half the "training time" trying to get our motors running. Not this year. The engines were in superb condition and greatly contributed to the best training we've run in the last 7 or 8 years!
