Tom,

Sorry if I'm losing track of where you are in the project. You've got the diesels in the shop rebuilding them now? Planning on getting one more season out of the gassers or am I mistaken?

Congrats on the 4-5 knt pickup. That'll save some time and fuel. Nice fish. Looks like a nice day. It's been slow here on the mid-Chesapeake. It seems that the fish are a little behind because of the weather.
