Well, I think I finally went off the deep end. Without even consulting you guys first, I finally bought a new-to-me boat!

I bought a 1986 Cape Dory 28' Flybridge Cruiser, with a Volvo 165hp diesel (TAMD40B). Had a very thorough survey done, which showed her to be in great shape as far as the hull, decks, and engine are concerned. Needs a lot of cleaning though, and of course I have a list of little things that I'll have to attend to.

And you know what that means: Time to start emptying my wallet. I guess I'm a boatfix customer again...! Well, I'm off to the engines forum for my first question...
