Jubilee - Tough Start

Jubilee is a 1985 Ocean Yacht Super Sport Convertible with twin Detroit Diesel 671's.  A good boat that I am sure has raised a lot of fish in her day.  However, she is ready to leave the east coast of Florida and travel to her new owners in Orange Beach, AL.

We got down to the boat around 2:30 pm and immediately got to work.  Jubilee has not had the best of care in the past.  While doing our engine room inspection, we noted that the Racors were in need of some help.  So they were completely taken apart, cleaned and reassembled.  It kept us in the engine room until midnight, but we knew we would have no chance of a successful voyage without getting and keeping the fuel clean.

So it was a tough start to our trip.  But we hope she is ready to purr like a kitten tomorrow.
